Maurice Denis's 'The Orange Christ' ('Le Christ orange', 1890) is an early Nabi painting by the French Symbolist that turns the Crucifixion into a field of warm terracotta and orange. Denis's famous 1890 dictum — 'a picture is essentially a flat surface covered with colours in a certain order' — finds direct expression here. Oil on board, Cleveland Museum of Art.
