[EH]. • Overpaintings of Christ are among the artist’s most sought-after works. • This painterly transformation does not destroy the underlying work but rather alters and enhances the painting’s expressiveness through the expressive, bold, and colorful application of paint. • The intrinsic necessity of the overpainting is immediately apparent from the handprints visible in the paint layer.
