The Resurrection (La Résurrection) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Resurrection (La Résurrection), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 12 13/16 x 8 5/16 in. (32.5 x 21.1 cm). Emerging out of a tomb sealed with a large stone and guarded by watchmen, Jesus miraculously rises from the dead. His face shines forth and the wounds on his head, hands, feet, and chest glow bright white. The guards shook and became as dead men,” Matthew says, at the sight of the risen Jesus, falling backwards in abject terror. Glowing more brilliantly than the guards’ lanterns, an angel visible just inside the tomb at right will later reassure Mary Magdalene and the other holy women that Jesus has risen. The angel is accompanied by others of his brilliant company, who are seated in an inner chamber of the tomb. European Art 1886-1894

The Ramayana is a story as old as time and - at least in the Indian subcontinent and across much of Southeast Asia - of unparalleled popularity. More than two thousand three hundred years ago the scholar-poet Valmiki sat down to write his definitive epic of love and war. The poem Valmiki composed is styled the Ramayana, or 'Romance of Rama' in Sanskrit. In its present form, the Sanskrit version consists of some 24,000 couplets divided into seven books. The Ramakien is the Thai version of this epic and has an important influence on Thai literature, art and drama. It is regarded as the National Epic of Thailand. Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha); full official name Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. It is located within the precincts of the Grand Palace. The Grand Palace served as the official residence of the Kings of Thailand from the 18th century onwards. Construction of the Palace began in 1782, during the reign of Ki

Good Friday Morning: Jesus in Prison (Le matin Vendredi Saint: Jésus en prison) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Good Friday Morning: Jesus in Prison (Le matin Vendredi Saint: Jésus en prison), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 17 1/2 x 4 3/4 in. (44.5 x 12.1 cm). In a subject that he characterizes as rarely, if ever, treated,” Tissot paints Jesus in prison—bound to a stone post, his hands chained but upraised in prayer. The artist notes the white light shining down, a further indication of the early hour on Good Friday. While Jesus prays, his guards, wearing armor, slump over in pre-dawn slumber. Dressed in a brown garment, Jesus has been stripped of the glowing white robe associated with his ministry. Now, as Tissot notes in the accompanying text, he wears just the seamless cloak that he has worn since his youth. This garment, first seen in The Youth of Jesus, was woven by the Virgin and, according to legend, grew as he did. Archaeologically rig
