Yesu Achukuliwa na Roho Juu ya Mlima Mrefu (Jésus transporté par l'esprit sur une haute montagne)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Tissot alipata njia ya kumchora ibilisi bila zimwi. Yesu anaelea katika anga la usiku akiwa na joho jeupe, mikono wazi, akichukuliwa juu ya mgongo wa mlima wenye giza, na mstari mwembamba wa mwanga kwenye upeo wa macho.

Nyuma yake kivuli kirefu cheusi chenye umbo la mtu kimetanda kuvuka anga. Hiyo ndiyo ishara pekee ya yule aliyempeleka huko.

Kutoka maandiko

“ibilisi akamchukua na kumpeleka sehemu ya juu zaidi” (Mathayo 4:8)

Anamwonyesha “falme zote za ulimwengu na fahari ya hizo zote” (Mathayo 4:8)

Ubunifu wa msanii

Yesu anachukuliwa angani

Ibilisi ameonyeshwa kama kivuli tu

Maelezo ya karibu

Yesu

Macho yake yamefungwa; nywele ndefu zinaangukia joho jeupe.

Kivuli

Kivuli cheusi chenye umbo la mtu kimetanda nyuma na chini yake.

Mgongo wa mlima

Vilima vyeusi na mstari hafifu wa mwanga wa waridi juu yake.
