The Wandering Jew
1896
Henri Rivière's "The Wandering Jew" is a color lithograph depicting the legendary figure condemned to eternal wandering as punishment for his actions toward Christ. The print showcases Rivière's characteristic use of bold outlines and flattened forms influenced by Japanese woodblock printing and Art Nouveau aesthetics. Through its dramatic composition and symbolic imagery, the work explores themes of exile, suffering, and the consequences of transgression within a modernist visual language.
