Baba Ampokea Mwana Mpotevu
Gustave Doré · 1866 (designs for La Sainte Bible, Tours); this printing 1873–1874
Maktaba ya Taifa ya Poland, Warsaw
Picha ya pili ya Doré juu ya mwana mpotevu inaonyesha kukutana kwenyewe. Ilichongwa kwenye kipande cha boxwood kilichokatwa upande wa ncha ya nyuzi, mbao ngumu iliyowawezesha wachongaji kuchora mistari myembamba na iliyokaribiana kiasi hicho.
Baba mzee, akiwa na joho la fahari lenye mistari, amemshika mwanawe aliyepiga magoti na kutazama juu angani. Mwana amemng’ang’ania, fimbo yake imeanguka njiani. Pande zote, watumishi wanakimbia wakipunga mikono, mbwa wanaruka, mwanamke mwenye mtungi begani anatazama, na ngamia na mitende vimesimama ukingoni mwa mji wa jangwani.
Kutoka maandiko
- “Alipokua angali mbali baba yake alimuona akamwonea huruma” (Luka 15:20)
- “Akaenda mbio na kumkumbatia na kumbusu.” (Luka 15:20)
- “Lileteni upesi vazi lililo bora, mkamvike” (Luka 15:22)
Ubunifu wa msanii
- Kijiji cha Mashariki cha mawazo ya Doré, chenye ngamia, mitende na mbwa wanaokimbia
- Watumishi tayari wanakimbia, kabla baba hajawaita
- Joho la baba lenye vishada na ukingo wenye nakshi
Maelezo ya karibu
Baba na mwana
Fimbo iliyoanguka
Fimbo ya kutembelea ya mwana iko njiani.
Watumishi wanaokimbia
Wanaume wenye fimbo zilizopinda wanakimbia, mikono imeinuliwa.
Mwanamke mwenye mtungi
Anasimama na mtungi begani kutazama.
