Yesu Atembea Juu ya Bahari (Jésus marche sur la mer)
James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York
Mojawapo ya karatasi zinazojulikana zaidi za mfululizo huu: Yesu anakuja kuelekea kwetu juu ya maji yenye giza ya ziwa usiku, bila viatu, akiwa na joho jeupe lenye mshipi hafifu, mikono yake imeinuliwa.
Mng'ao laini mweupe unazunguka umbo lake lote, na mawimbi madogo yanavunjika kuzunguka miguu yake. Mwezi unaning'inia nyuma yake. Tissot aliuacha mtumbwi na wanafunzi waliokuwa na hofu — tunamwona kama walivyomwona wao.
Kutoka maandiko
- “Katika usiku wa zamu ya nne Yesu aliwakaribia, akitembea juu ya maji” (Mathayo 14:25)
- “Jipeni moyo! ni mimi! msiogope.” (Mathayo 14:27)
Ubunifu wa msanii
- Mng'ao wa mwanga kuzunguka umbo lake
- Tukio linaonekana kutoka mtumbwini, ambao hauonyeshwi
