48And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Fathers house?
50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A portrait of a young jesus at the age of 12 visiting the temple at passover and staying behind while his parents looked everywhere for him.
Around Easter time i always do religious based artworks and i always wanted to one of jesus as a young boy. Portrait based on Franco Zeferellis Jesus from Nazareth mini series, one of the best movies in my opinion depicting Christs life.
Artwork completed with 4b&6b charcoal on 8'5x10'5 smooth bristol board 2006.
Happy Easter everyone
My Aplogies to all my watchers who may be getting my artwork twice in their boxes,i decided to change the title of my artwork from jesus in the temple to Jesus as a young boy as i felt this title related better to my artwork Jesus as a young child/boy. Thank you
I discovered you by search! I am actually working on a small literature project based around this time. I'm featuring this art with my next deviation (part 4 out of 13) found here: [link]
It's a great young Jesus.
I adore the detail here!
