Mucha, brought up in an atmosphere of intense religious fervour, felt at home with sacred motifs and was adept at expressing himself through them. For Haraucourt’s La Passion, he created one of the most compassionate portraits of Christ, frail and unabashedly human, his eyes asking not for pity as much as for understanding. The usual circular pattern in the background is provided by the crown of thorns, within which may be seen the three crosses of the Calvary at his right shoulder, and the Omar Mosque in Jerusalem at his left shoulder. This was the last poster he created in Paris, just before leaving for the United States. It is fitting that the first one (Gismonda) was also based on a religious theme.
