Flight from Jerusalem, 1899
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner that transports viewers to a biblical scene of escape and desperation. The artwork depicts a man, woman, and mule standing beside an arched doorway, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty. Tanner's meticulous brushstrokes bring the characters to life, capturing the tension in their bodies and expressions. The composition evokes a sense of urgency as the trio seeks refuge from an unknown danger lurking outside the frame. The donkey stands patiently beside them, symbolizing hope and resilience in the face of adversity. Through this powerful imagery, Tanner invites us to reflect on themes of faith, survival, and human vulnerability. Tanner was known for his ability to infuse his paintings with emotional depth while masterfully depicting light and shadow. In "Flight from Jerusalem" he skillfully uses color to create atmosphere – warm earth tones dominate the foreground while cool blues hint at an impending nightfall beyond the archway. This remarkable piece is housed at the Amistad Research Center in New Orleans where it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless message. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of our shared humanity and our capacity for strength even in times of great turmoil.
