Description: | This image is a three-quarter length depiction of Christ wearing a crown of thorns and a robe, facing to the right. It may be a preparatory work for a later composition. Richard Glynn Vivian and Gustave Doré had been friends for a number of years prior to the artist's death in 1882. Glynn Vivian purchased a large volume of Doré's work in the subsequent studio sale. The Canon Harford referred to in the label on this work is the Rev. F. K. Harford, who had met Doré at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1867, and who later introduced Glynn Vivian to Doré. | Subjects: | Passion) religion (Christ | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Doré, Gustave (French printmaker, painter, sculptor, 1832-1883) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8701... | Go to resource |
