The Story Behind the Painting

Reconstitution du Golgotha et du Saint-Sépulcre. Vu des murs du palais d'Hérode
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.

Calvary, the site of the Crucifixion, was located just outside the walls of Jerusalem. The artist notes that in the enclosure visible in the middle distance flat ground in an otherwise rocky terrain three post holes held the crosses for Jesus and the thieves who were condemned to die alongside him.

Invoking the writings of Saint Ambrose, Tissot says that Christ was crucified at the spot called Golgotha, or the place of the skull. According to tradition, Adam, the first man, was buried on this very site: an appropriate connection, for Jesus, as the "Second Adam," undoes the Fall of Man recounted in the book of Genesis and redeems humanity from its sins.

Our artists reproduce this fine art composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes fine art oil painting so sought after for a dining room.
