Jesus Tempted in the Wilderness (Jésus tenté dans le désert) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Jesus Tempted in the Wilderness (Jésus tenté dans le désert), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 8 7/8 x 13 5/16 in. (22.5 x 33.8 cm).  Although Matthew, Mark, and Luke all describe Christs temptations by Satan, Tissot cites only the version given by Luke. For reasons that remain unclear, he changes the order of the tests given by Luke. In Tissots first image, Satan abducts Jesus and soars to a precipitous height—emphasized by the low, bright horizon line in the distance. The shadowy darkness of the claw-toed devil contrasts with Jesus pristine white cloak. From their great height, Satan tempts Jesus with the many kingdoms he could command if he rejected God and worshipped the devil instead. In Tissots second image, after Jesus has fasted for forty days in the desert to prepare for his ministry, Satan urges him to end his hunger by turning stones into br

The Pilgrims of Emmaus on the Road (Les pèlerins d'Emmaüs en chemin) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Pilgrims of Emmaus on the Road (Les pèlerins d'Emmaüs en chemin), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 7/16 x 10 5/8 in. (18.9 x 27 cm).  Jesus also appears to two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus. Not able to recognize him, they tell the seeming stranger of Christs death and his subsequent mysterious disappearance from his tomb. Though they had believed him to be the Messiah, they confess to doubts, as he “should have redeemed Israel,” as Luke recounts, or freed the Jews from the rule of the Romans. As they walk on toward their destination, the stranger instructs his companions on the ancient prophecies regarding the Messiah. In a later scene, when Jesus joins them for a meal at their destination and breaks bread with them, they do recognize him, before he disappears from their presence. European Art 1886-1894

Jerusalem Jerusalem (Jérusalem Jérusalem) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Jerusalem Jerusalem (Jérusalem Jérusalem), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 6 7/8 x 8 3/8 in. (17.5 x 21.3 cm).

Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Collections include a panel painting of Pope Clement by Giovanni da Sulmona, a polyptych by Giacomo da Campli, painted Castelli ceramics, paintings of St. Sebastian and other saints, and a Last Supper, perhaps by Bernardo Rantvic or the Fiammingo School. German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and monument.

The Voice from on High (La voix d'en haut) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Voice from on High (La voix d'en haut), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 7/16 x 10 3/8 in. (18.9 x 26.4 cm).  Standing on a raised platform before the Court of the Gentiles outside the Temple, Jesus first considers asking God to save him from his impending sacrifice; but then, recognizing its necessity in the divine plan, he instead glorifies Gods name. The Lord responds from the heavens: some in the crowd hear thunder, others the voice of an angel. Jesus acknowledges his forthcoming death to those gathered. With this image, Tissot again blends his interest in historical accuracy with a sense of mystery and wonder. He sets the scene in a very specific archaeological place: on a terrace elevated above the Court of Gentiles, noting that non-Jews were forbidden from this platform under pain of death. However, the artist also underscores the awe of the crowd as they hear

The Appearance of Christ at the Cenacle (Apparition du Christ au cénacle) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Appearance of Christ at the Cenacle (Apparition du Christ au cénacle), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 5 1/2 x 10 1/4 in. (14 x 26 cm).  Christ appears to his followers at the cenacle, the upper room where they had shared the Last Supper. Exposing his glowing wounds, Jesus reveals himself to themto their delight and wonderwhile the servants who tend the disciples peer through the curtains in astonishment. European Art 1886-1894

The Strike of the Lance (Le coup de lance) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Strike of the Lance (Le coup de lance), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 14 3/8 x 8 3/16 in. (36.5 x 20.8 cm).  To confirm that Christ was dead, one of the Roman centurions pierced his side with a spear, releasing a flow of blood and water from the body. Calling on the Fathers of the Church, Tissot sees in this incident the image of many very touching mysteries.” Most notably, he alludes to the sacramental significance of water and blood, respectively, in the Christian rites of Baptism and the Eucharist.
