"The Entry of Christ into Jerusalem" is a notable painting by the Belgian artist James Ensor, completed in 1898. This work is a prime example of Ensor's mature period, wherein he combined religious themes with a distinctive style characterized by vivid colors, dramatic lighting, and a sense of the grotesque. The painting depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, an event celebrated on Palm Sunday in the Christian liturgical calendar. However, Ensor's interpretation deviates from traditional religious art by infusing the scene with a carnival-like atmosphere and satirical elements.

Measuring 252.7 x 430.5 cm, this large-scale work is executed in oil on canvas and is known for its complex composition, which is crowded with figures that appear both caricatured and fantastical. Ensor's use of masks and distorted faces challenges the viewer's expectations of conventional religious iconography and suggests a commentary on the hypocrisy and folly of humanity. The central figure of Christ is depicted not with the usual reverence but is instead almost lost among the throng of bizarre and mocking characters, which may reflect Ensor's critical view of society and the church.

"The Entry of Christ into Jerusalem" is considered an important precursor to Expressionism and Surrealism, movements that would emerge in the early 20th century. Ensor's innovative approach to subject matter and technique has earned him recognition as a pivotal figure in modern art, and this painting, in particular, is celebrated for its avant-garde qualities and its influence on subsequent generations of artists.

The painting is part of the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, where it continues to be studied and admired for its unique blend of religious narrative and social critique. Through this work, James Ensor solidified his reputation as an artist unafraid to confront and challenge the artistic and cultural norms of his time.
