Image: Ivan Marchuk (Ukrainian, b. 1936), Illustration to Taras Shevchenko’s poem Isaiah. Chapter 35 (An Imitation. “Rejoice, O Field Unploughed”) (1983-1984). Tempera on cardboard. Shevchenko National Reserve. The work is part of a series called the Shevchekiana, based on poems by the Ukrainian polymath Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861). A translation of the poem can be found here; of course draws on the imagery from Isaiah 35 from our readings this week. Reproduced under CC-BY-SA 4.0 by copyright holder via Wikimedia Commons.
