In 1872. Oil on canvas. Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia.
The desert from the picture gives the impression of icy cold space with no life. In the face of Christ, especially in the eyes, full of intense thought, a certain aloofness, absence of reality of this world is read. He is sitting with his back to the horizon turning pink, he can only guess the sunrise. Morning of the Revival has come, but the sun has not risen ...
In the picture there is no place to clear and joyful tones, as there is no place for light naive faith. His belief is acquired in agony of spirit, in opposition to the world and himrself.
Aesthetics of paintings is located in borders of the epoch.Created by Kramskoy, the image is not divine..Having the terrain shape, Christ embodies the idea of the invisible world, revealing at the same time the image of God.
