Jehovah is a 1760 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a golden-robed figure kneeling under a tree, praying with hands clasped. Above them, a winged angel floats in a sky of soft blues and clouds. The scene is framed by a dark border with a simple gold line, and the bottom has a row of lotus flowers in a shallow pool. The angel’s curly hair and gentle pose give it a calm, almost dreamy look. The bright colors pop against the dark border, making the figures stand out. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The painting, created in 1760 using opaque watercolour and gold on paper, depicts Jehovah appearing to a saint, who is shown as a nimbed figure dressed in green and orange robes, wearing a golden crown and a tall aigret, kneeling beneath a tree while looking upward. Jehovah is represented with an outstretched hand, his face encircled by golden rays, and appears amid a series of billowing clouds. The foreground features a landscape with blooming plants, while the background includes views of mosques and minarets.
