"Horreurs Chrétiennes" is a series of artworks by Swiss artist Louis Soutter (1871–1942), known for his unconventional and expressive style that often delved into themes of spirituality and human suffering. Soutter, who began his artistic career as a conventional painter and violinist, experienced a significant transformation in his art following a series of personal crises and his subsequent confinement to a psychiatric hospital in Cery, Switzerland.

The "Horreurs Chrétiennes" collection, created in the later period of Soutter's life, reflects his intense and often disturbing engagement with Christian iconography and narratives. These works are characterized by their dark and chaotic representations of religious scenes, which are believed to be a reflection of Soutter's inner turmoil and critique of religious institutions. The artist employed a unique technique that involved using his fingers and nails to paint and scratch on paper, giving his pieces a raw and tactile quality.

Soutter's "Horreurs Chrétiennes" are considered significant in the study of Art Brut or Outsider Art, a term coined by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture by self-taught or marginalized artists. Louis Soutter's work, including the "Horreurs Chrétiennes" series, has been recognized for its powerful emotional impact and its ability to convey the artist's psychological state and existential concerns.

Despite the recognition of Soutter's work in the context of Art Brut, the "Horreurs Chrétiennes" series remains less well-documented compared to other periods of his oeuvre. The scarcity of detailed information about individual pieces within the series may pose challenges to providing a comprehensive account of the works. Nevertheless, the series holds a significant place in the legacy of Louis Soutter and continues to be of interest to scholars and collectors of Outsider Art.
