Our Saviour subject to his parents at Nazareth
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by John Rogers Herbert, depicting a serene scene from the life of Jesus Christ. The artwork measures 53.3x68.6 cm and belongs to The FORBES Magazine Collection in New York. In this tender portrayal, we see the young Jesus standing beside his parents, Mary and Joseph, in their humble home in Nazareth. The artist skillfully captures the essence of familial love and devotion as they engage in everyday activities. Mary leans towards her son with an affectionate gaze while working on her spinning wheel, symbolizing her role as both mother and spiritual guide. Joseph, portrayed as a carpenter, is shown sawing wood nearby - an allusion to his trade and earthly responsibilities. Through this simple act, Herbert emphasizes the importance of hard work and dedication even for those chosen by God. The presence of a dove hovering above Jesus signifies divine intervention and foreshadows his future mission as the Messiah. This symbolic detail adds depth to the composition while reminding viewers that Jesus was not only fully human but also divine. Herbert's meticulous brushwork brings out rich colors and textures throughout the painting, enhancing its overall beauty. "Our Saviour subject to his parents at Nazareth" serves as a poignant reminder of family bonds, faithfulness, and the profound connection between humanity and divinity within Christianity's central figure - Jesus Christ himself.
