"C'est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes gueris" 1926

"C'est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes gueris" (It is by his wounds that we are healed) is a 1926 artwork by French artist Georges Rouault (1871-1958). The painting depicts the face of Jesus Christ crowned with thorns, rendered in a dramatic and expressive style that is characteristic of Rouault's work. The dark, angular lines and bold colors convey a sense of suffering and spiritual intensity, reflecting Rouault's deep religious faith and his engagement with the themes of sin, redemption, and human suffering. This painting is a powerful example of Rouault's unique and evocative style of art, which is often referred to as "Expressionism."
