''The Yellow Christ'' (''Le Christ jaune'') is a symbolist painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, completed in 1889. This work is one of Gauguin's most famous and is a quintessential example of the Synthetist style, which sought to synthesize three features: the outward appearance of natural forms, the artist's feelings about their subject, and the purity of the aesthetic considerations of line, color, and form. The painting depicts a crucifixion scene set in 19th-century Brittany, France. Gauguin's use of bold colors, particularly the vivid yellow of Christ's body, which contrasts starkly with the autumnal palette of the Breton landscape, is a hallmark of his exploration of color theory and his departure from naturalistic representation.

The Yellow Christ reflects Gauguin's interest in religious symbolism, the spiritual aspects of life, and the Breton people's devout Catholicism. The figures surrounding the cross are Breton women, depicted in a style that combines the real with the symbolic, as they appear to be in a state of contemplation or prayer. The painting is often interpreted as a meditation on the crucifixion of Christ, with the yellow color symbolizing the divine light or the suffering of Christ.

Gauguin's time in Brittany was significant in his artistic development, and ''The Yellow Christ'' is part of a series of works that were inspired by the region's landscape, its people, and their customs and traditions. The painting is currently housed at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. It remains an influential piece in the study of post-Impressionism and is frequently cited in discussions of Gauguin's impact on the direction of modern art, particularly in his use of color and symbolism to convey meaning beyond the literal representation of the subject matter.
