"The Green Christ" (French: "Le Christ vert"), also known as "Breton Calvary," is a notable painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1889 during his first stay in Pont-Aven, a small village in Brittany, France. This work is part of a series that Gauguin produced on the theme of Breton religious life, reflecting his interest in synthesizing traditional religious subjects with the everyday life of the region's inhabitants and his own symbolic language.

The painting depicts a Breton woman at the foot of a calvary, a type of monumental crucifix common in Brittany, which is represented by a green Christ figure. Gauguin's use of color is symbolic and highly expressive, deviating from naturalistic representation to convey emotional depth and spiritual resonance. The green hue of the Christ figure contrasts with the earthy tones of the landscape and the woman's attire, emphasizing the otherworldly presence of the sacred within the mundane.

Gauguin's style in "The Green Christ" is characterized by flat areas of bold color, strong outlines, and a departure from perspective, which were revolutionary at the time and would later influence the development of modern art. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's experimental approach to color and form, as well as his interest in exploring the spiritual and existential dimensions of human experience.

"The Green Christ" is held in high regard for its innovative technique and its role in the evolution of Gauguin's artistic philosophy, which sought to move beyond the materialistic values of contemporary society and to capture the essence of a more primitive and spiritual way of life. The work is housed in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, and remains an important piece in the study of post-Impressionism and the trajectory of modern art.
