Daniel Lafontant 20"x16" Christ with Crowns of Thorns c1965 OIl on Canvas Unframed Painting #1YN Artists/Poisson Louverture its single piercing eye setThis expressive mid century painting by Haitian artist Daniel Lafontant portrays Christ crowned with thorns, rendered in rich earthy tones and bold brushwork. The composition reflects Lafontants ability to merge spiritual iconography with modernist technique, a hallmark of his mature style from the 1960s. The work conveys both the intensity of human suffering and the transcendence of faith, themes central to Lafontants oeuvre and to Haitian sacred art
