L’entrée Du Christ À Bruxelles 1896

"L’entrée Du Christ À Bruxelles" (1896) by James Ensor is a satirical and grotesque depiction of a religious procession through the streets of Brussels. Ensor's signature style, characterized by exaggerated figures and a vibrant palette, is evident in this etching. The artwork is a complex commentary on religious hypocrisy, societal anxieties, and the artist's own experiences with the city's social dynamics. The dense composition is filled with grotesque figures and text, creating a chaotic and disturbing visual environment, characteristic of Ensor's works.
