About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Johann Friedrich Overbeck, a key figure of the Nazarene movement, this work captures the biblical moment when Christ escapes those who sought to cast him from a cliff. The composition contrasts the frantic movement of the crowd with the serene, divine composure of Jesus, rendered with the crisp lines and luminous palette characteristic of the artist's revivalist style.
