Entry of Christ into Jerusalem
by NOMÉ, François de, Oil on canvas, 50 x 37 cm
Fran�ois de Nom� exploited a style he made entirely his own, with scenic architecture - either based on fantasy or inspired by real monuments - framing small-scale episodes drawn from the Bible, history or mythology. His figures, whether few or large in number, or even in isolation, successfully play their part in his stories by expressing a mood, in this case the curiosity provoked by Christ’s arrival in the Holy City.
