More about this artwork

Henry Ossawa Tanner's painting "The Savior," created between 1900 and 1905, portrays a thoughtful and introspective representation of Jesus Christ. This artwork is rendered with Tanner's characteristic soft brush strokes and subtle interplay of light and shadow, bringing a profound sense of spirituality and human emotion to the composition.In this piece, Tanner depicts Jesus in a moment of quiet reflection, with a muted palette primarily consisting of soft whites and yellows, intermixed with darker tones that outline his features and flowing robes. The choice of colors and the hazy treatment of the background focus the viewer’s attention on the figure of Jesus, highlighting his introspection."The Savior" stands out for its simplicity and the emotional depth it conveys, making it a compelling example of Tanner’s religious artworks. Tanner, an African American artist who spent much of his career in France, is renowned for his ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a modern, personal expression of faith.

Henry Ossawa Tanner (June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937) was an American artist who spent much of his career in France. He became the first African-American painter to gain international acclaim. Tanner moved to Paris, France, in 1891 to study at the Académie Julian and gained acclaim in French artistic circles. His painting Daniel in the Lions' Den (1895, location unknown) was accepted into the 1896 Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Tanner's Resurrection of Lazarus (1896, Musée d'Orsay, Paris) was purchased by the French government after winning the third-place medal at the 1897 Salon. In 1923, the French government elected Tanner chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
