A Meditation on the Good Shepherd and the Peace of God's Presence
This museum-quality fine art print reproduces an original watercolour painting by Ethiopian Christian artist and iconographer K. Haile Maskel, inspired by the timeless words of Psalm 23, one of the most beloved passages of Holy Scripture.
Presented in the distinctive visual language of Ethiopian Christian sacred art, the composition features the complete text of the Psalm surrounded by ten radiant angels, each rendered with intricate detail and vibrant colour. Together they form a harmonious frame that celebrates God's protection, guidance, and abiding presence.
The Inspiration Behind the Artwork
Psalm 23 has brought comfort, hope, and assurance to believers for countless generations. Its enduring words proclaim God's faithful care:
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."
The Psalm speaks of divine guidance through every season of life, offering confidence in God's protection, provision, and everlasting mercy.
The surrounding angels serve as symbols of heavenly worship and divine guardianship, reflecting the rich iconographic traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Their joyful presence frames the sacred text, inviting quiet reflection upon God's promises.
About the Artwork
