Den gode hyrde Forarbejde til mosaik i Imanuelskirken is a 1899 unspecified by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in a long-sleeved shirt, surrounded by a wolf and a lamb. The man is holding the lamb, while the wolf is biting his arm. The scene is set against a backdrop of leaves and trees. The man's expression is calm, despite the wolf's attack. The lamb looks scared, but the man is trying to protect it. The wolf's teeth are bared, and its eyes are fierce. The painting is a study for a mosaic in a church. It's a powerful image of good vs. evil, with the man representing kindness and the wolf representing danger. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
