The painting was done in a single session calledalla prima, and its final result presents a middle ground between a study and a finished work. Priority was given to spontaneity, which is expressed in the brushstrokes present in the background. The free and unfettered way of those brushstrokes reflect and are parallel to the natural aspect of human reactions, such as joy.
This face expresses the serenity and joy of Jesus Christ, shown by the outline of His smile and also by the profound interpenetration of His gaze towards His Father. All of this involves an environment of love that Jesus feels for His Father which He holds in his heart. These are the sentiments that He overflows and that are transmitted into the painting. This joy comes from above, from God who cherishes and accompanies Him under a warm light. Around him, the cold blue seems to indicate that He is alone, but the warm light follows him, comforts him and thus it is His strength. The black background on the lower part of the painting symbolizes the martyrdom through which He will pass in the kingdom of men. Light is His way, the direction of His true life, that is, the Divine kingdom together with His Father.
