Christ's Entry into Brussels. Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889 is an 1888 painting by the Belgian artist James Ensor.
The work, satirising Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem celebrated on Palm Sunday, is considered Ensor's most famous composition and a precursor to Expressionism. The painting was rejected by Les XX, and not exhibited until 1929.
It was shown at his studio in his lifetime. It was exhibited at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp from 1947 to 1983, Kunsthaus Zürich from 1983 to 1987.
It was shown at a retrospective in 1976 at the Art Institute of Chicago, and Guggenheim Museum. The painting is on permanent exhibition at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
The painting is one of just three selected by Stefan Jonsson to explicate the history of democracy and socialism over a period of two centuries, and how the masses are perceived.
