The Eleventh Triad 31-32-33
Here is a meal, a meeting, a great collective communion, but one which is unlike all others, for the guest of honor is the Messiah himself.
The setting is a great hall, a palace, an interior space where one sees in the background three arcades, a composition in three rectangles and six diagonals. In the center are the Christ, the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalen and their followers being welcomed by Levy and his family. Some children surround the Messiah, while a large crowd is seated at table. Some pots of flowers fill the foreground, mottled with shades of rose, blue, salmon and ochre, harmoniously arranged and calling for no comment. The work holds you, and as you circulate inside it, it explodes with life while at the same time giving you a feeling of intimacy.
But no Scribes or Pharisees take part, for they consider the scene distasteful and unbecoming – I have come to give joy to the oppressed… (Matthew 9: 9-150)
