Moses Shown the Promised Land. Artist: Benjamin West (American, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania 1738-1820 London). Dimensions: 19 3/4 x 28 3/4 in. (50.2 x 73 cm). Date: 1801.In London, West taught three generations of visitingAmerican artists, advancing both the Neoclassical and the Romantic styles. He was engaged for three decades in the massive decorative scheme for a Chapel of Revealed Religion that his kingly patron, George III, wished to erect at Windsor Castle. Although West completed more than thirty-five pictures, the project was eventually abandoned. The Museum's oil sketch is probably a study for a large painting destined for the cycle, in which Moses was to play an important role. The shaft of light cutting diagonally through the Baroque composition symbolizes God's revelation to Moses of the promised land he was to see but never enter himself. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Christ Asleep during the Tempest ca. 1853 Eugène Delacroix French Delacroix painted at least six versions of this New Testament lesson in faith: when awakened by his terrified disciples, Christ scolded them for their lack of trust in Providence. In the earlier works, the seascape is more prominent; in the later ones, as here, Christs bark occupies a more significant place. After Vincent van Gogh saw this version in Paris in 1886, he wrote, "Christs boat—Im talking about the blue and green sketch with touches of purple and red and a little lemon yellow for the halo, the aureole—speaks a symbolic language through color itself.". Christ Asleep during the Tempest. Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). ca. 1853. Oil on canvas. Paintings

The First Nail (Le premier clou) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The First Nail (Le premier clou), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 13/16 x 12 11/16 in. (19.8 x 32.2 cm). While Mark devotes just a single verse to the act of crucifixion, Tissot describes the process in exacting detail in four images and his accompanying published commentaries. Following first-century Roman sources, he considers the physical restraints the executioners probably employed to bind Jesus securely to the cross. He concludes that ropes must have been required, in addition to nails, to keep the elevated body from collapsing under its own weight. At right, the Virgin Mary and others look on in horror. European Art 1886-1894
