This 1959 work by French artist Jean Cocteau titled "Interieur chapelle Saint Blaise" is a mural of a simplified, stylized figure of Christ with a crown of thorns within a triangular frame. The depiction is a simplified rendition of Christ, and the red dots representing the drops of blood on the mural suggest a powerful and moving depiction of Christ’s sacrifice. This work is an example of Cocteau’s artistic style, which often drew on religious imagery and symbolism.
