The Man of Sorrows, 1875 (oil on canvas) by Sir Joseph Noel Paton (1821-1901) Sir Joseph Paton painted many subjects from the Bible in the later part of his career. This picture shows Jesus Christ on the eve of the Temptation in the Wilderness, seated in a rocky landscape as night falls. Rays of light illuminate Jesus's face, symbolising spiritual communication with God. The picture illustrates the Biblical text, 'Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows'. The smoothly finished and detailed style is characteristic of Paton's religious paintings;
