1897 Angels Burning Carried Christ Christian Heaven Jesus Life Luke Oleograph Paradise Penitent Saviour Soul Tissot Censers Forgiveness Repentance Thief
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported to a moment of profound spiritual significance. The scene depicts the soul of the penitent thief being tenderly carried into Paradise by angels adorned with burning censers. Inspired by Luke 23 in the Bible, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of Christian faith and redemption. The artist, JJ Tissot, masterfully brings to life this pivotal event from the Life of Our Saviour Jesus Christ in his 1897 oleograph. With meticulous attention to detail, Tissot portrays the celestial beings enveloped in divine light as they cradle the repentant soul on their journey towards eternal bliss. As we gaze upon this image, our hearts are filled with awe and wonder at the power of forgiveness and salvation offered through Jesus Christ. It serves as a poignant reminder that no matter how far one has strayed or sinned, there is always hope for redemption through sincere repentance. The heavenly setting evokes a sense of peace and tranquility while symbolizing Paradise itself – a realm where pain and suffering cease to exist. This visual representation invites us to contemplate our own relationship with God and consider the transformative power of genuine remorse and turning towards righteousness. Overall, Tissot's illustration not only showcases his artistic prowess but also serves as an invitation for introspection and reflection on matters central to human existence: faith, forgiveness, repentance, and ultimately finding solace in divine love.
