The Two Men Possessed with Devils (Les deux demoniaques) - James Tissot - Dining Room Wall Art suits both traditional and modern interiors. As a fine art oil painting, it works as a standalone focal point or as part of a dining room gallery wall, and unlike a print it is genuinely hand painted in oils.
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.
As earlier temptation episodes foretold, the devil left Jesus "for a season" but reappeared time and again to test him in the form of possessed outcasts. Here, in a barren landscape pocked with caves and tombs a terrain familiar from Tissot's sketches of the Valley of Hinnom Jesus encounters two men afflicted with demons, while a herd of swine wanders on the horizon. Tissot notes that the Gentiles, sometimes in the employ of Jews, tended swine in these lands, despite Jewish tradition, which regarded the animals as unclean.
According to Matthew, so fearsome were these possessed men that few dared to roam in these lands. Nude, emaciated, and long-haired, the men jump and flail before Jesus and the disciples. Casting the devils out, Jesus urges them to join the swine, which run over a cliff and plummet to their deaths in the sea below.
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.
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 dining room wall art 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.
In short: The Two Men Possessed with Devils (Les deux demoniaques) - James Tissot - Dining Room Wall Art combines a romantic composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for fine art oil painting and dining room wall art.
