JESUS RIDES INTO
JERUSALEM AS KING




֎ Featuring 34 Paintings ֎

M A T T H E W
Chapter 21*

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

“Say to the Daughter of Zion,
    ‘See, YOUR KING COMES TO YOU,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,

    “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

    “Blessed is he who comes in the
      name of the Lord!”

    “Hosanna in the highest!”

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

#3 van Dyck who had been Ruben’s most famous student. He painted this at age 18 showing his remarkable precocious talent.

#9 Tissot

#14 Blake - oil on copper - As always with his paintings, there is a sense of being in another dimension, nothing looks real and at the same time we know, we feel, we participate. In painting the elongated bodies of Jesus and his disciples over those in the crowd, was Blake saying they were larger than life, elevated spiritually over the rest of humanity?

#21 Pedro Orrente, a good 17th c. artist of the Spanish Baroque period who had been trained by El Greco.

#34 John Martin whose work we encountered in the OT. Celebrated English Romantic artist, his compositions are vast, dramatic, usually populated with small figures in imposing landscapes

#32 is very dark and violent (heavy and fast brush strokes) compared to the other art work

it is not a celebration of our King

it is not a Triumphal Entry

perhaps the artist is burdened by the thought of blood sacrifice
