Pietà (after Delacroix) by Vincent van Gogh, 1889
A woman in a blue hooded mantle supports the limp body of a bearded man, whose pale torso and yellow-draped loincloth rest on a rocky slope under a swirling yellow and blue sky. Thick, rhythmic brushstrokes in blue, ochre and green give the scene an agitated, painterly energy typical of the artist's late style.
