Amesimama kwa utulivu mikono yake kifuani.
Biblia katika sanaa · Yohana
Walinzi Wanaanguka Kinyumenyume (Les gardes tombant à la renverse)
James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York
Yesu amesimama peke yake usiku katikati ya uwanja wazi, amejifunika joho hafifu, mikono yake imeunganishwa kifuani. Pande zote kumzunguka, askari na watumishi waliokuja kumkamata wanaangushwa chini.
Watu wanaanguka kinyumenyume, wanatapakaa chini na kupepesuka mikono yao ikiwa juu; taa na mienge vinayumba juu yao. Tissot aliuchora umati kama mchanganyiko mweusi wa kahawia, na Yesu peke yake akiwa katika mwanga.
Kutoka maandiko
- “Ni nani mnayemtafuta?” “Yesu Mnazareth.” (Yohana 18:4–5)
- “alipowaambia, ‘Mimi ndiye’ walirudi kinyume na kuanguka chini” (Yohana 18:6)
Ubunifu wa msanii
- Umati mzima unaanguka kwa mara moja
- Yesu ametulia na yuko peke yake katika duara la mwanga
Maelezo ya karibu
Yesu
Akianguka nyuma
Mtu anaanguka kinyumenyume.
Taa
Taa zenye vizimba zinayumba juu ya umati.
Chini
Mtu aliye mbele ametapakaa ardhini.
