Masterpieces
The Seventh Triad 19-20-21
Alpha and Omega, a long way to go but the adventure carries on. In this group there is:
The Arrival in Bethlehem, The Cosmic Holy Family, and The Adoration of the Kings. The three works are united both by their theme and by their composition. A semi-circle insinuates itself through the three works. In the centre a rain of light bathes a sphere which shelters the Holy Family, a cosmic sphere with bold lines, a unique play of chiaroscuro, for Bethlehem is the centre of the Cosmos and of all existence.
Oblique lines cross with those of the circle and create an attractive harmony. Down below there is a bay of fairy beauty with a sheet of water with a bordering coast where the fishermen are to meet the Messiah. On the left there is a path that comes from afar through a landscape of the Orient, of Lebanon, with rocks and terraces.
Mary is seated on a donkey. Saint Joseph and the donkey merge into each other in their lines and their colours. The dream bears us away. On the right the following scene shows a confused mass of people and of cherubim.
The threee kings kneeling offer their gifts. A crowd of shepherds, mothers and children, watch the spectacle. All fade into one mystical atmosphere.
