Christ 1965

"Christ" is a 1965 painting by Austrian artist Ernst Fuchs (1930- ). It is a highly symbolic and detailed work that reflects Fuchs' interest in religious themes and his mastery of meticulous realism. The painting features a central figure of Christ, with his chest wrapped in a white cloth, standing before his empty tomb. Surrounding him are angels, a landscape, and various symbolic objects, such as a chalice, a crown, and a cross. Fuchs’s work has often been associated with the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, which embraced elements of Surrealism and Symbolism while maintaining a strong connection to traditional art forms.
