Christ Healing the Deaf-Mute; Philippe de Champaigne
- Title
- Christ Healing the Deaf-Mute
- Artist
- Philippe de Champaigne
- Physical Description
- This painting depicts a river passing through a wooded landscape as human figures, dwarfed by the towering trees, move along its banks. The majestic landscape dominates the painting, but a group of four men in the right foreground also competes for attention since the bright, saturated primary colors of their robes stand out sharply against the muted tonalities of their surroundings. One of the men, wearing a blue cloak, places his left finger in the mouth of a man kneeling before him and touches the side of his head with his right hand. A third man leans forward to touch the kneeling figure's shoulder while the fourth, in a magnificent red cloak, raises his hands in astonishment.

The man looks intently into the face of the fainted woman, while the two women, in turn, watch his expression closely.
