| (아 2:9) | 내 사랑하는 자는 노루와도 같고 어린 사슴과도 같아서 우리 벽 뒤에 서서 창으로 들여다보며 창살 틈으로 엿보는구나  아2:17 |
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
James Tissot 1836 – 1902
Jesus Looking through a Lattice
gouache (14 × 18 cm) — 1886 - 1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York City
This work is linked to Canticles 2:9
Between 1886 and 1894 Tissot made a series on the life of Christ. He meant that in previous centuries the true Christ had been obscured by the "fancies" of artists. He therefore made the series begin with this gouache, with Jesus behind a lattice.
He referred to a verse in the book of Canticles: "My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice."
