Bijaya 1878-1883 West Bengal, Calcutta The subject of this print follows on directly from the last and shows Shiva having arrived at the residence of his parents-in-law on the fourth day of Parvati-Durgas visit to collect his wife and their son Ganesha, whom he holds lovingly. The scene is of a tearful departure with the separation of the daughter from her kin, a favored theme of Bengali poets. Family and maid-servants offer gifts and snacks for the journey. Such themes are familiar to all Bengali families and such imagery would have had immense appeal, despite its overt sentimentality. The accompanying note to this picture explains: “Bijaya technically means the departure of [Parvati- Durga from her fathers house to that of her lord. Her lord Mahadev himself comes to take her off on the fourth day, and it is impossible for the faithful wife to stay longer with her parents.”. Bijaya. West Bengal, Calcutta. 1878-1883.

The Last Supper: Judas Dipping his Hand in the Dish (La Céne. Judas met la main dans le plat) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Last Supper: Judas Dipping his Hand in the Dish (La Céne. Judas met la main dans le plat), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 9 3/4 x 19 3/8 in. (24.8 x 49.2 cm). For the Passover feast, the apostles (dressed in traveling clothes, like the Jews of the Old Testament book of Exodus, Tissot explains) meet in a room decorated with garlands. During the meal, Jesus reveals that he will be betrayed by one of his disciples; many of them worriedly ask, Is it I?” In this image, Jesus hands the sop, or dipped bread, to Judas Iscariot, identifying him as the traitor. Jesus later dismisses him from the company, urging him to be quick about his business. Here, John the Evangelist, described as the beloved disciple,” lays his head on Jesus’ shoulder, as is traditional in scenes of the Last Supper. By contrast, Judas, across the table

According to the story, a united humanity in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven.
