The Triumph of the Innocents
Artist: William Holman Hunt (British, 1827-1910)
Date: 1903
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Harvard Art Museum, Cambridge, MA, United States
Description
Hunt’s painting is the first of three versions of this unusual subject, which has its origins in the biblical narrative of the Flight into Egypt. When the final painting was exhibited, the artist provided an explanatory pamphlet. King Herod, threatened by the newborn “King of the Jews,” ordered the slaughter of all male infants in Bethlehem. Here the fleeing Holy Family is enveloped by “the embodied spirits of the martyred Innocents.” The infant directly below the Christ child displays his torn garment, a prefiguration of the wound in Christ’s side at the Crucifixion. “Airy globes” display Jewish dreams of the union of heaven and earth at the advent of the Messiah. In the largest bubble one can make out the sleeping figure of a patriarch with a “ladder or pathway up and down, which is traversed by the servants of God.”
The Good Samaritan
Artist: Joseph Highmore (English, 1692–1780)
Date: 1744
Medium: Oil paint on canvaa
Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom
Description
This painting illustrates the parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke. The Samaritan has bound the wounds of an injured man attacked by robbers and is helping him to his feet. Heading off into the distance behind them are the priest and the Levite, who have ignored the man’s plight. The painting was made for the aristocrat John Sheppard, possibly for a private chapel in his home at Campsey Ashe in Suffolk. This makes it a comparatively rare example of a sacred subject commissioned from a British artist by an independent patron, outside of the church.
