The Wandering Jew: The Desert: The Crucifixion

Henri Rivière

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a monochromatic illustration of a man walking with a staff, carrying a bundle on his back. He walks on a hill with a crowd of people on the horizon. In the background, there are two crosses on a hill to the right. The sky is blue with large clouds. The illustration is done in shades of gray and brown, with the sky being the only blue area. The man is walking towards the right side of the image, with his staff in one hand and the bundle on his back. The crowd of people is silhouetted against the sky, making it difficult to discern any details about them. The two crosses on the hill to the right appear to be crucifixes. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of solemnity and contemplation. The image is titled "The Wandering Jew: The Desert: The Crucifixion" and is by Henri Rivière.
