About the piece

Painted in 1865, Édouard Manet’s 'Jesus Mocked by the Soldiers' reimagines a traditional religious subject with the startling realism and directness of modern art. The central figure of Christ is surrounded by three soldiers, whose varied expressions and physical presence are captured with a monumental, sculptural quality against a deep, dark void.
