For collectors searching fine art oil painting, Saint Mark is a dependable choice. Painted in layered oils on canvas after James Tissot, this romantic work reads equally well as classic canvas wall art and as a thoughtful housewarming gift.
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.
For his narrative of the life of Christ, Tissot created a "harmony" of the Gospels, combining the separate accounts of Jesus' life attributed to the apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These four New Testament texts differ from one another in theological emphasis and tone. A harmony, a literary form traced to the second-century Christian writer Tatian, seeks to reconcile the differences among the four Gospels and to piece together one continuous chronology of Jesus' life, verse by verse.
Tissot created his own distinctive narrative through this synthesizing process, producing five "chapters" derived from the Gospel sources: the Holy Childhood, the Ministry, Holy Week, the Passion, and the Resurrection. He paid homage to the individual Gospel writers by painting a portrait of each.
Very occasionally, in order to fill out the narrative, the artist illustrated an episode from the Apocrypha (early Christian writings not included in the New Testament), though he was always careful to select passages consistent with the depiction of the Holy Family in the Gospels.
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 an entryway.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For entryway wall decor that does not feel generic, a painted fine art canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular fine art oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
Order Saint Mark as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting romantic character to your entryway. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
