The work was commissioned to advertise the Revue Bimestrielle, a publication associated with the avant-garde circles of the period. Thorn Prikker employs a highly stylised, linear aesthetic that draws upon the visual language of Art Nouveau while maintaining the melancholic, spiritual intensity characteristic of his Symbolist output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dominated by a central figure of Christ on the cross, rendered with elongated, distorted proportions that emphasise suffering and spiritual weight. The crown of thorns and the surrounding circular motifs create a rhythmic, almost hypnotic visual structure. Above the central figure, a series of profile heads are arranged within circular frames, suggesting a connection to Byzantine iconography or early religious woodcuts. The use of bold, black outlines against a neutral background creates a stark, graphic quality that is typical of the posters produced for literary and artistic journals at the end of the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThorn Prikker was deeply involved in the international Symbolist movement, and this work reflects his interest in the fusion of religious themes with modern decorative sensibilities. The lettering at the base is integrated into the overall design, demonstrating the artist's attention to the relationship between typography and image. This piece provides a clear view into the aesthetic preoccupations of the 1890s, where artists sought to move beyond naturalism in favour of expressive, symbolic forms. The print captures the tension between traditional religious iconography and the emerging modern graphic style, making it a compelling study for those interested in the history of European poster art and the development of early modern design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/and-i-saw-an-angel-come-down-from-heaven-having-the-key-of-the-bottomless-pit-and-a-great-chain-in-his-hand-odilon-redon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnd I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand - Odilon Redon — Odilon Redon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ruine-van-een-tempel-tweede-droom-karel-petrus-cornelis-de-bazel\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRuïne van een tempel: tweede droom - Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel — Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Thorn Prikker","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58695076577615,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58695089619279,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58695089652047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58695089684815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58695089717583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58695089750351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58695089783119,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58695089815887,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58695089848655,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58695089881423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58695089914191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58695089946959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Poster-for-Revue-Bimestrielle_Poster_CompositorV1_1788733910408.jpg?v=1788734461","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/poster-for-revue-bimestrielle-johan-thorn-prikker","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
