Pastoral Love and Compassion

The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.

This painting was accomplished from the other side of the lake, from the little village of Weissenbach. Klimt zoomed the depicted area with binoculars. The graphic dissolution of the architecture and nature- the trees, the surface of the water with its reflection, the hills in the background lead to the impression of an extreme close up.

Unterach is a village in Austria. It is located in the south western part of Upper Austria, on the southern shore of lake Attersee (lake)|Attersee, in the centre of the Salzkammergut region. The name derives from the Austro-Bavarian Untr|aha ~ between|waters based on the geographical location on the shore of lake Mondsee (lake)|Mondsee and lake Attersee.
