Paintings, photos from Passepartout Christ in the Desert

In the center of the painting, the artist depicted Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Christ is sitting among the petrified sand ruins. Jesus' gaze is directed inward, he is in thought… His feet are bare, the fingers of both hands are fastened in a solid lock. The whole figure indicates to us the deepest spiritual concentration in which he resides with his whole being. Jesus' hair is dark brown, a small beard, all this merges with his robes. Christ is dressed in spacious clothes: closer to the body is a loose matte purple hoodie covered with a black cape. The figure of the Christ of humanity is depicted somewhat hunched over, which tells us about the heavy burden that the Mission has assumed. The beige sands surrounding Jesus remind us of mountains and canyons, where Christ, sitting above them, appears to us as a kind of giant. The game of scales is executed by the artist masterfully. Behind the back of the God-man stretches the vast sky.
