“And the Prayer of Faith Shall Save the Sick”

Artist: John Frederick Lewis (English, 1804–1876)

Date: 1872

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, United States

Description

Painted twenty years after John Frederick Lewis returned to London after a decade in Cairo, this picture’s title is a quotation from the Epistle of St. James in the New Testament, yet the work apparently depicts a Muslim man reading from the Koran. The cross-cultural ambiguity is complicated further by the close resemblance of the reclining sick woman to Lewis’s wife, Marianne; furthermore, the cross-legged reader appears to be a self-portrait of the artist. A panel on the wall bears a relief of the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, and above this is a quotation from the Koran: “We have embraced the faith, so forgive us.”

Can't wait for the pope dying to restart the "should we allow religious queer people into queer spaces or should we blanket label then as crypto fascists regardless of their religion and call it a day" debate again

There's something poetic about the fact that interacting with Hel helped reawaken my love for extinct animals. Because extinct animals are inherently part of her domain for obvious reasons. But also because it's something from my childhood that I discarded when I got older, and remembering and reawakening things like that is very much one of her aspects as well. So it all lines up.
