Kugeuka Sura (La transfiguration)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Mwanga unamwagika kutoka juu juu ya maumbo matatu kileleni mwa mlima. Yesu amesimama katikati akiwa na joho jeupe linalong'aa; pande zote mbili, wazee wawili wenye ndevu na majoho meusi wanamgeukia na kuzungumza.

Mbele, wanafunzi watatu wamepiga magoti na kuinama chini, mmoja anaonekana kwa nyuma mikono yake imenyooshwa, wengine wanaficha nyuso zao. Tissot aliuchora mwanga kama michirizi meupe juu ya mwamba wa kijivu na kijani.

Kutoka maandiko

“Uso wake ukang'aa kama jua, na nguo zake zilionekana zenye kung'aa kama nuru” (Mathayo 17:2)

Musa na Eliya wanatokea, wakizungumza na Yesu (Mathayo 17:3)

Ubunifu wa msanii

Musa na Eliya kama wazee wawili wenye majoho meusi

Wanafunzi wakificha nyuso zao, kama watakavyofanya muda mfupi baadaye (Mathayo 17:6)
