The Missionary's Adventures, ca. 1883, Oil on wood, 39 x 53 in. (99.1 x 134.6 cm), Paintings, Jean-Georges Vibert (French, Paris 1840–1902 Paris), Vibert is best known for his satirical scenes from ecclesiastical life. Here he draws a contrast between the inspired and modest missionary and the prelates in the midst of their comforts. The cardinals lounging on the sofa and purple-robed bishop savoring his tea are indifferent to the monk's account of his mission and to the wound he received carrying it out
