Le Christ mort / Christ couché nu
Alexandre-Louis-Marie Charpentier French
Not on view
A central subject in Christian imagery, representations of dead Christ or the entombment have featured in European art since the medieval era. More than the anatomical accuracy of a naturalist, this dead Christ reflects how Charpentier brings his stunning poetry of form and line to even the most austere subject.
