I think the “Unknown Artist” in the first picture is Gustav Dore. It looks like his work, and he did as many Bible Illustrations as my personal favorite James Tissot.
Another great artist of Biblical themes is Rembrandt himself. His only seascape was “Storm on the Sea of Galilee” which was stolen from the Gardener Museum in Boston and never recovered.
Most of Rembrandt’s Bible paintings are Old Testament stories, but also are interpreted in NT terms. Such a painting is one of David and Absalom which is also called “The Prodigal Son”.
I enjoy your posts! :-)
I shall be on the lookout henceforth for that fascinating dynamic in Rembrandt's work--thanks for educating me! I looked unsuccessfully for a relevant piece by Tissot. But we can anticipate innumerable delights ahead.
