Painted in 1446, this haunting panel by Petrus Christus depicts a Carthusian monk with crystalline precision. Every fold of the white habit and strand of beard reveals the artist’s devotion to optical truth in early Netherlandish art.

Petrus Christus (active 1444–1475/76) was a Netherlandish painter of the Bruges school, admired for luminous surfaces and the quiet spiritual intensity of his portraits.
