Kuitwa kwa Mtakatifu Yakobo na Mtakatifu Yohana (Vocation de Saint Jacques et de Saint Jean)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Hapa wito unakuja kama mwendo wa ghafla. Vijana wawili wanapita kwa kurusha maji katika maji mafupi kati ya miamba myeusi, wakiondoka kwenye mtumbwi ambamo baba yao na watu walioajiriwa wanabaki na nyavu.

Tissot aliyachora maji ya ziwa kwa rangi ya kijivu cha fedha na ufuo kwa kokoto za rangi nyingi. Ndugu wa kwanza, mwenye ndevu, akiwa na shati la njano, anapiga hatua kuelekea ufuoni; wa pili, aliyevaa kijani, anatazama nyuma juu ya bega lake kuelekea mtumbwi.

Kutoka maandiko

Yakobo na Yohana katika mtumbwi pamoja na Zebedayo baba yao, wakishona nyavu zao (Mathayo 4:21)

“mara moja wakaacha mtumbwi na baba yao nao wakamfuata” (Mathayo 4:22)

Ubunifu wa msanii

Ndugu wakitembea majini kuelekea ufuoni kati ya miamba

Yesu ameachwa nje ya picha — ndugu wanatembea kumwelekea, nje ya ukurasa
