the proclamation of the kingdom of God with help from a painting entitled Healing of the Lepers at

Copernum by James Tissot. Now a brief introduction to our painting and artist. Our artist is James

Tissot. It was born in the year 1886 and he died in the year 1894.

He was born and died in France, but he lived in London for a time as well.

To Sots work, he combines an elements of impressionism and realism and even spent some of his time working as a

characterist under a pseudonym.

Generally, he focused on several subjects for most of his career, but he turned to religious

art near the end of his life after experiencing a reversion to Catholicism.

In this particular painting, Healing of the Lepers at Copernum,

its style is realism and goate. Now a description of our painting. On a cobblestone street,

a man in tattered bandages falls to his knees. His arms are upraised and he faces a group of men one in a pure white garment facing and placing his hand on the head of a young boy another in fine yellow clothes staring gawking at the drama of the bandaged man.
