| A classic example of Gauguin’s Symbolist style, this work is of a crucifixion scene with a yellow-toned figure against a blue background. Through it, Gauguin sought to convey spiritual and emotional depth rather than literal representation, blending Christian iconography with his personal symbolism. |
