New! Jesus Raising Jairus's Daughter Back to Life – Ilya Repin – Archival Quality – Miracle of Jesus

This gorgeous painting of Jesus raising the daughter of Jairus catches the moment just as Jesus has told her to get up. Her mother is still grieving, but Jairus must have caught the slightest stirring of the young girl, as he looks like he is just beginning to be astonished. His daughter is about to open her eyes.

Born in Ukraine, Ilya Yefimovich Repin (1844-1930) was one of the greatest painters from the Russian Empire. He studied in St. Petersburg and Paris, and lived out the later years of his life in southern Finland, a few hundred miles from St. Petersburg. Although he was appalled at the Bolshevik Revolution, he managed not to get killed by them, and he lived to a ripe old age.

Repin's paintings show insight into the subject matter. His portraits give you a sense of a real person with a full personality. His compositions are masterful; he would sometimes draw hundreds of preliminary studies. This is one of his most famous paintings. Oil on canvas. 7.5 x 12.5 feet. He painted big. It's hanging in the Russian State Museum, in St. Petersburg, one of the largest and most visited art museums in the world.

** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border around the image. Approximately 0.5" wide for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14, and 1.75" for 13x17 and 16x20. For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others. Most fine art printers do this because otherwise they’d have to crop the art or warp it to make it fit the paper. The border looks good. It gives the picture a faux matted appearance.

There is almost always a little more border either on the left-right sides, or the top-bottom, depending on whether the ratio of the art is wider or taller than the paper.

We make Archival Quality fine art prints:

– Acid-free paper

– Archival pigments

– Cardboard backer for sizes 11x14 and less.

– Above story of the art

– Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal-clear bag.

– Rated to last 200+ years without fading if kept dry and out of the direct sun.

Thanks for your interest!
