This volume is devoted to Belgian artist James Ensor's (1860-1949) monumental canvas and magnum opus, The Entry of Christ into Brussels in 1889, one of the most complex paintings ever painted.

It is only forty years after its completion that the monumental canvas was first publicly exhibited at the James Ensor retrospective at the Brussels Palais des Beaux-Arts in 1929. Between 1889 and 1929, a veritable revolution had taken place in the visual arts. Before and during World War I, Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, and Dadaism all came into being. Since the purchase of the work in 1987 by the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), The Entry has acquired cult status.
