I saw this painting online today, and thought it was a striking representation of the dedication of Solomon’s Temple. It is by French painter James Jacques Joseph Tissot, c. 1896-1902, gouache on board, stored at the Jewish Museum, New York.
Solomon Dedicates the Temple at Jerusalem, by James Jacques Joseph Tissot (c. 1896-1902)
Dude, this is a beauty. Great find.
Did you see the Tissot exhibit at BYU last year? He has a lot of great artwork.
Here’s one of my favorites of his: http://www.jwashburn.com/2010/10/messianic-art-two-really-awesome.html (the second one).
Pretty awesome. The only good depictions of the dedication I’ve seen before were LDS or came from the Temple Institute. BTW, thank you for keeping this blog going.
This is fabulous! Thank you for sharing your find with us : )
