Jonah

The poster of Jonah and the Whale by John August Swanson is a beautiful visual portrayal of this moving story from the book of Jonah. The main panel shows Jonah being swallowed by the whale amidst a turbulent sea. The surrounding miniature images tell the rest of the story. Jonah is shown in prayer, inside the belly of the whale. He is thrown up on shore and then heeds the call and goes to Nineveh to proclaim God's impending judgment. This imaginative image is a wonderful example of John Swanson's masterful skill as a visual storyteller."
