The Holy Face (La sainte face) 

"The Holy Face (La sainte face)" by James Tissot, currently on display at the Brooklyn Museum, depicts a figure holding up a cloth with a bloodstained image of Christ's face. This iconic image references a Christian relic known as the Veil of Veronica, which is said to bear the impression of Christ's face from his journey to his crucifixion. Tissot's meticulous attention to detail and the use of soft, muted tones contribute to the work's reverence and emotional impact, prompting viewers to reflect on the poignant image of Christ's suffering.
