Henri Charles JONAS ( Dutch Artist, 1878-1944)

拍品描述

Scenes from the Life of Christ at the Sea of Galilee. Oil on panel. An expressive and spiritually rich composition by Dutch modernist Henri Jonas, centering on the Sea of Galilee as the unifying element in a series of New Testament scenes. At the heart of the painting, Christ stands in a boat, addressing a crowd gathered along the shoreline—an iconic image of his ministry. Surrounding this central moment are multiple biblical episodes, including the dramatic scene at the top where Christ casts out a demon into a herd of swine. Boats filled with disciples, followers on foot, and symbolic gestures unfold across the composition in a continuous, almost liturgical rhythm. Executed in warm, earthy hues and fluid brushwork, this work encapsulates Jonas' profound engagement with religious narrative and communal spirituality.
