Word, vision and announcement · The prophets in art
From Isaiah, Ezekiel and Elijah to the great monumental friezes, the prophets connect text, gesture and vision in images of expectation, warning and hope.
In biblical traditions, prophets transmit a word that interprets the present and opens the future. The painting represents them alone, united in cycles or associated with the events they announce. Duccio places Isaiah and Ezekiel near the Nativity in order to connect prophecy and fulfillment. Gentile da Fabriano brings together angels and prophets around the Virgin and Child in an image of hierarchical adoration. Lanfranco shows Elijah exhausted in the desert, awakened and nourished by an angel: the prophet here becomes a figure of fragility supported by grace. Lanfranco shows Elijah exhausted in the desert, awakened and nourished by an angel: the prophet here becomes a figure of fragility supported by grace. Sargent transforms the Friesland of the Prophets into a monumental ensemble, attentive to the diversity of attitudes and power collective of speech. Cranach finally brings Moses, Aaron and other figures together in a language of reform and scriptural reading. The "Prophets" selection notably compares Virgin and Child enthroned with angels and prophets - Gentile da Fabriano and Friesland of the Prophets - John Singer Sargent. His reading favors color.
The prophet is painted between two stages: he belongs to the history represented, but his gesture and his look always designate a future accomplishment.
