Modelled on a wooden crucifix Gauguin saw during his stay in Brittany, this painting depicts a group of Breton peasant women mourning a yellowish Christ crucified in a landscape populated by flat orange trees and ribbonlike streams. The conscious breaking of representational and historical conventions was part of Gauguin's attempt to return to a simpler, more primitive world of visual expression and meaning.
