"Christ on the Lake" is a painting by French artist Georges Rouault (1871-1958) that utilizes bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors to depict a scene of Christ on a boat on a lake. Rouault's style, often categorized as Expressionism, is characterized by thick, impastoed paint application and a focus on emotional intensity, seen here through the dramatic use of color and light. The painting's dark background is contrasted with the bright yellow of the sun, reflecting the powerful religious themes that Rouault explored throughout his career.
