The Dead Christ with Angels

Artist: Edouard Manet (French, 1832–1883)

Date: 1864

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Manet identified the source for this painting, the first of several religious scenes, in the inscription on the rock: the Gospel according to Saint John. However, in the passage cited, Christ’s tomb is empty except for two angels. After Manet sent the canvas to the 1864 Salon, he realized that he had made an even greater departure from the text, depicting Christ’s wound on the wrong side. Indeed, critics denounced the picture, particularly the realism of Christ’s cadaverous body.
