Behold the Bridegroom Arriving (1899 - 1900)
Nikolaos Gyzis had strong religious and metaphysical feelings and questions in the latter part of his life. It is in this context that the magnificent work on the Second Coming was born.

The artist did many studies in preparation for this work. The work is also inspired by the Apocalypse of St John, but Gyzis, as he wrote in a letter, did not see Christ as a punisher and avenger, but as a sweet god who came to bring to the world light, salvation and comfort.
Γύζης, Βρυζάκης, Λύτρας, Γεραλής. Από τους καλύτερους. Δεν έχω χρόνο να του κάνω αφιέρωμα τώρα, αλλά δεν γίνεται να μην παραθέσω κάποια έργα του. Είναι απλά εκπληκτικός.
