# Forest Landscape with Two of Christ's Miracles [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VINCKBOONS, David]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on panel, 58 x 95 cm ## Commentary This is a fine example of a forest landscape by Vinckboons. He produced similar compositions in other forest landscapes in the first decade of the seventeenth century. These landscapes respond strongly to <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/c/coninxlo/landscap.html'\)" href="/html/c/coninxlo/landscap.html">forest scenes by Gillis van Coninxloo,</a> who worked in Amsterdam from 1595 until his death. In the present painting the story of Jairus's daughter and the woman who touches Jesus's garment is illustrated. Christ and the Apostles have crossed over the Sea of Galilee, enduring a great storm, to the land of the Gadarenes. Christ sets off to Jairus's house. Among the crowd following him is a woman who has had an "issue of blood twelve years." She touches Christ's garment and is immediately healed. This miracle is shown on the of the canvas. Two distant sailboats in the central background indicate the crossing over the Sea of Galilee. Formerly, this panel was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It was sold for the Acquisitions Fund in 2013. ## Related artworks - [A Blind Hurdy-Gurdy Player]() - [An Officer Preparing His Troops for an Ambush]() - [Blind Hurdy-Gurdy Player]() - [Distribution of Loaves to the Poor]() - [Elderly Fisherman with a Girl]() - [Elegant Party in an Ornate Palace Garden]() - [Extensive Landscape]() - [Forest Landscape with Two of Christ's Miracles \(detail\)]() - [Forest Scene with Robbery]() - [Kermis]() - [Music-making Company in the Open]() - [Peasant Feast]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
