Little Samuel In Prayer After Sir Joshua Reynolds - J. Berton Aubusson Tapestry - No. 1542

"Little Samuel at Prayer" The painting "Little Samuel at Prayer" was created by the famous English painter Joshua Reynolds in 1777. It was a work that enjoyed great success at the time and has been reproduced many times. The story behind this painting is linked to the biblical account of young Samuel. According to the Old Testament, Samuel was a major prophet. At an early age, he was entrusted by his mother, Hannah, to the high priest Eli to serve God at the sanctuary of Shiloh. Reynolds' painting captures a key moment in Samuel's childhood: when he is called by God while he sleeps, and he responds, initially thinking it is Eli calling him. Joshua Reynolds, as President of the Royal Academy and a renowned portrait painter, was able to infuse this scene with great emotion and spirituality. The choice to depict Samuel as an innocent and pious child at prayer resonated particularly with the sensibilities of the time, which valued piety and childlike innocence. The painting is now housed and displayed at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France, where it is part of the permanent collection. It demonstrates Reynolds' influence on the painting of his time and the popularity of religious themes in art. In keeping with tradition, this magnificent tapestry has undergone a thorough cleaning, the installation of a hand-sewn linen lining, and a careful inspection by our experts at the Galerie Lissier Artisan Workshop.
