More about this artwork

1930)Description: Henry Ossawa Tanner, a trailblazing American artist, captures a deeply touching scene in his painting titled "He Healed the Sick." This work, created around 1930, offers viewers a glimpse into Tanner's poignant interpretation of spiritual themes through his distinctive approach to color and form.The painting portrays a serene yet compelling biblical scene set beneath the overarching branches of a vast, gnarled tree that dominates the landscape. The earthy tones and textured brushstrokes give the tree a life-like presence, casting shadows and light across the figures beneath it. Central to the canvas are the figures of Christ and a small group of followers, depicted in muted, harmonious colors that resonate with the surrounding environment. The figures are rendered with a softness that hints at their humble and devout natures.Tanner's mastery in using light to evoke a spiritual atmosphere is evident here. The dappled sunlight filtering through the tree illuminates the scene, highlighting the compassionate act of healing. This spiritual interaction between Christ and the ailing individual, though subtly executed, is profoundly moving. The onlookers, depicted in various postures of observation and prayer, add to the narrative, suggesting a communal witness to a miracle."He Healed the Sick" is an evocative piece that not only showcases Tanner's skills as a painter but also his ability to emotionally engage his audience with a timeless story of hope and compassion.

Henry Ossawa Tanner (June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937) was an American artist who spent much of his career in France. He became the first African-American painter to gain international acclaim. Tanner moved to Paris, France, in 1891 to study at the Académie Julian and gained acclaim in French artistic circles. His painting Daniel in the Lions' Den (1895, location unknown) was accepted into the 1896 Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Tanner's Resurrection of Lazarus (1896, Musée d'Orsay, Paris) was purchased by the French government after winning the third-place medal at the 1897 Salon. In 1923, the French government elected Tanner chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
