Warm water rinses the greasy soil of nostalgia from her skin. Her shift over, her muscles sink into the rhythmic movement of the waves lapping at her sides, waiting. Soon she hears the crackle of dry vegetation underfoot as the neighbor boys approach through the stiff reeds and the nightly vigil begins. Theirs is not the lecherous glint of the old cook, her mother's “friend,” seeking to exercise his right as her protector. These are as innocent gazes as one can expect in this day, full of joy and secret marveling. They look inward, following the circuitous route of the waterline on her flesh, seeking the dark crevice through which their mothers bore them. She meets the viewers’ gaze, unashamed, her mind cool as a breeze through the open window. Tomorrow, her bath water will inundate the valley, washing centuries of dust and all living things down to the sea. No ancient odalisque, hung safely on the wall, she is a wolf, Iocasta with filed teeth. The circular, incestual surprises of history hold no sway over her, but spiral down the drain with fried fish fat and the lustful thoughts of little boys. The Open Window, 1996, oil on canvas, 48 × 64 inches, 8 pm in The Hours of the Day series. [When the Orange County Museum of Art showed my Hours of the Day series in 2000, I was asked by Director Naomi Vine to explain each painting for the catalogue. I refused, but told her I would write fiction instead.

Le Miracle de Saint Just

Peter Paul Rubens, Le Miracle de Saint Just (circa 1633). Oil on canvas. Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux.

In the rich tapestry of baroque art, Peter Paul Rubens' 'Le Miracle de Saint Just' (The Miracle of Saint Justus), painted around 1633, stands as a remarkable narrative painting that encapsulates the fervor and intensity of religious storytelling of the time. This artwork not only showcases Rubens' mastery over color and form but also delves deep into the miraculous tale of Saint Justus, inviting a reflection on faith, sacrifice, and the divine.

Who Was Saint Justus? Saint Justus' story is set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire under Emperor Diocletian's reign, a period marked by Christian persecution. The narrative unfolds as Justus, alongside his father and uncle, embarks on a perilous journey to France, aiming to rescue a relative facing persecution for their Christian faith. Their mission takes a dramatic turn when Justus is captured by Roman soldiers. Despite the grave threat to his life, Justus confesses his Christian beliefs. When pressed to betray his father and uncle's whereabouts, he refuses, leading to his execution. A testament to his unwavering faith, Justus' body performs a miracle post-mortem, picking up his severed head and continuing to speak, a phenomenon that leads to the conversion of pagan onlookers. This story of steadfast faith and divine intervention is vividly captured in Rubens' painting.

Rubens' Artistic Vision: Rubens, a towering figure in baroque art, brings the tale of Saint Justus to life with his dynamic composition, rich colour palette, and emotive figures. His ability to convey the intensity of Justus' martyrdom and the subsequent miracle with such vigour and depth is unparalleled. The painting is not just a visual representation but a narrative journey that encapsulates the essence of martyrdom and the power of divine faith.

Symbolism and Interpretation: In 'Le Miracle de Saint Just,' Rubens explores themes of sacrifice, faith, and the divine through the lens of Saint Justus' martyrdom. The miraculous act of Justus speaking after death serves as a powerful symbol of faith's triumph over persecution and death. Rubens' depiction invites viewers to contemplate the nature of belief, the sacrifices it may entail, and the miracles that faith can bring forth.

The Power of Expression in Rubens' Canvas:

Rubens' skill in 'Le Miracle de Saint Just' extends notably to the depiction of facial expressions, capturing the story's emotional essence. Saint Justus, portrayed with a peaceful resolve, contrasts sharply with the bewildered and astonished onlookers, their faces a canvas of awe and fear. This juxtaposition of serenity and turmoil enhances the narrative, inviting viewers to engage deeply with the themes of faith and the miraculous.

Expressions Unveiled: Your Thoughts?

How do the powerful expressions in 'Le Miracle de Saint Just' by Rubens affect you, drawing you into the painting's narrative without words?

Pleasantly surprised to find that my recent painting was chosen for the promotional postcard for the 2022 Instructor Salon at the Art Students League. Sourced from a terribly lit studio process photo while varnishing it in my studio… I REALLY need to get it professionally shot😂 Another bit of good news as an older paintings of mine now adorns one of the League’s front display windows! A month to certainly be grateful for… but I just wish the Salon opening wasn’t scheduled during my Italian Drawing Workshop this year. I missed my own show😂😂😂 #art #artist #artwork #drawing #draw #sketch #sketching #paint #painting #figurativeart #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #figurativepainting #figurativepainter #oilpainting #painter #narrativepainting #artmodel #figuremodel #arte #artecontemporaneo #mythologicalpainting #follender2022 #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #aslnyc #artstudentsleagueofnewyork #kunst #kunstwerk https://www.instagram.com/p/CiyKRmrMTkl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
