Looking for fine art oil painting with real brushwork? The Tribute Money (Le denier de Cesar) is reproduced by hand in oils on artist-grade canvas after James Tissot. The result is a piece of traditional oil painting wall decor that anchors a bedroom and rewards a closer look.
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.
Jesus is being watched carefully by the priests and scribes, who hope to have him arrested as a threat to Roman rule. Asked whether tribute should be paid to Rome, Jesus points to a coin inscribed with the likeness of the emperor and raises another hand to the sky, saying, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's."
Distinguishing between terrestrial and divine authority, Jesus evades the trap as his hostile audience crowds around him, intently listening to his response. The image visually parallels the much earlier scene Jesus Among the Doctors in the Holy Childhood, though the priests' early wonder at his precocious wisdom has now turned to frustration and mistrust.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Oil on canvas remains the reference standard for traditional reproductions. Our artists apply pigment by hand, blending the fine art tones directly on the surface for depth that a printed fine art oil painting simply cannot match.
traditional canvas wall art is one of the easiest ways to warm a bedroom. Pair this piece with natural linen, dark wood, or brushed brass, and let the hand painted surface do the rest.
