The exact name of this painting should be "The Redemptor". Actually the risen Christ is represented; the signs of the nails, proof of the passion and death could be seen on his hands. The artist, whose devotion is obvious considering his membership to the Confraternity of Our Lady of the Snow at Bruges Cathedral presents us the victorious face of Christ expressing the sufferings he borne for the salvation from sin: the crowning with thorns, crucifixion and death.

The dark background and the gloomy thin clothes covering him evidence the brightness of his face and hands. We thus have a sort of double register, which enables a double version of the work.

"For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himsef all things whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. Col. 1, 19-20
