This gouache and watercolour by James Tissot depicts Jesus on a mountaintop under a starlit sky. The artwork is part of Tissot's series illustrating the life of Christ, reflecting his later focus on religious subjects.
James Tissot, a French painter active in the late 19th century, produced a series of illustrations depicting the life of Christ. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Tissot initially gained recognition for his genre scenes of fashionable society. However, in the 1880s, he experienced a religious reawakening, leading him to dedicate a significant portion of his career to biblical subjects. He travelled to the Middle East to study the settings and customs of the Bible, aiming for historical accuracy in his depictions. His illustrations were widely reproduced and circulated, influencing popular perceptions of biblical narratives. 'Jesus Goes Up Alone onto a Mountain to Pray' presents a scene of Christ in solitude. The composition shows Jesus standing atop a rocky mountain under a starlit sky with a crescent moon. He is draped in a white robe, his arms outstretched. The mountain is rendered in shades of grey and brown, with a path leading up to the summit. The sky is a deep blue, dotted with stars, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere.

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.
