A monochrome illustration by James Tissot depicting the biblical story of Balaam and his encounter with an angel, rendered with dramatic flair.
James Tissot, a French painter active in the late 19th century, produced a series of illustrations depicting scenes from the Bible. This work, titled 'Balaam and the Ass, as in Numbers', presents a moment from the Old Testament. The composition is rendered in monochrome, giving it a stark, graphic quality. An angel stands tall, wings spread, holding a sword. Below, Balaam is seated on his fallen donkey, seemingly taken by surprise. The rocky terrain adds to the drama of the encounter. Tissot's style combines academic precision with a narrative sensibility, making his biblical scenes both visually compelling and emotionally resonant. His work reflects a broader interest in religious subjects during the Victorian era, appealing to both devout and secular audiences.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
