Mazungumzo Kati ya Yesu na Nikodemo (Entretien de Jésus et de Nicodème)
James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York
Nikodemo alikuja usiku, na Tissot aliweka mazungumzo yao katika chumba kitupu kilichomulikwa na taa moja ndogo. Wanaume hao wawili wameketi karibu karibu juu ya mkeka kwenye jukwaa lililoinuliwa; Nikodemo, mzee zaidi na mwenye ndevu, anainama karibu na kumshika Yesu mkono.
Sehemu iliyobaki ya chumba ni tulivu na tupu: rafu yenye sahani, dirisha la kimiani, jozi mbili za viatu vilivyoachwa sakafuni mbele ya jukwaa.
Kutoka maandiko
- “alimwendea Bwana Yesu usiku” (Yohana 3:2)
- “Rabi, tunajua ya kuwa u mwalimu kutoka kwa Mungu” (Yohana 3:2)
Ubunifu wa msanii
- Taa juu ya kibao kidogo kinachokunjwa
- Viatu vilivyoachwa sakafuni, kama mtu anapoingia nyumbani
