Yesu Apelekwa Juu Kabisa ya Hekalu (Jésus porté sur le pinacle du Temple)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Yesu amesimama akiwa amejifunika joho jeupe juu ya nguzo, juu sana ya nyua za Hekalu, miguu yake mitupu juu ya ukingo mwembamba. Chini zimetandaa kuba, safu za nguzo na nyua za kijivu, na nyuma yake kuta za Yerusalemu.

Juu yake linainama umbo kubwa jeusi lenye mabawa kama ya popo, lililochorwa kwa wembamba kiasi kwamba majengo yanaonekana kupitia kwake. Tissot aliuacha uso wake nusu umepotea katika kivuli.

Kutoka maandiko

Ibilisi anamweka “mahali pa juu sana pa jengo la hekalu” (Mathayo 4:5)

“jirushe chini” (Mathayo 4:6)

Ubunifu wa msanii

Ibilisi kama kivuli chenye mabawa kinachoonyesha upande wa pili

Majengo ya Hekalu yakionekana kutoka juu kama ndege aonavyo

Maelezo ya karibu

Yesu

Amejifunika nyeupe, amelishika joho lake karibu.

Ukingoni

Miguu mitupu juu kabisa ya nguzo.

Mabawa meusi

Mabawa membamba meusi yametandaa juu yake kama pazia.

Nyua za chini

Kuba, safu za nguzo na nyua zilizotandikwa mawe, chini kabisa.
