About the piece
This expressive oil sketch by Jean-Baptiste Corneille captures the biblical moment a Roman centurion humbles himself before Christ. Painted around 1690 as a preparatory study for a larger work, the piece exemplifies French Baroque drama through its dynamic figure groupings, luminous use of color, and classical architectural setting.
