Head of Christ Carolus-Duran (Charles-Auguste-Emile Durant) French 1868 Although he built his reputation as a society portraitist, Carolus Duran treated religious themes throughout his career. The date on this sheet suggests he made it during or immediately following his travels in Spain, where he often lodged in monasteries. The drawing seems to have served as a source for a crucifixion he painted for Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Saint-Aygulf in 1894; it bears a close relationship to other studies made for that project.
