I am surveying "Bible art" for my own amusement and learning (at the Spirit's prompting) and thought others might enjoy it, too. Various artists' conceptions enrich my own thoughts about biblical incidents. My intent is to proceed methodically left-to right, Genesis to Revelation , as the Lord wills. Back soon with another.
The Bible encourages us to meditate on it (Ps. 1:1-3, 119:11-16, etc.), and these artists have done so and their works can assist us. But it is not only oil-on-canvas that can so help us; I refer to the astonishing video series The Chosen, which strolls through the four Gospels at the most leisurely pace. The eight episodes of Season 1 are finished, and the second of a planned seven seasons is coming soon. I say "leisurely" because after an entire year Jesus still has only seven of the apostles (although He's preparing to call up Thomas from the minor leagues--but Thomas is skeptical, of course). Anticipating a canvas of fifty-plus hours instead of a movie's paltry two hours, The Chosen turns the characters into three-dimensional humans and brings the Gospels alive--you have never seen anything even remotely like it. Here is the Official Trailer.

According to BLM, the first language they EVERYONE spoke was Ebonics.

All conical? Is there any biblical authority for that rather than a straight sided pyramid?

None at all. Purely artistic license. The world impatiently awaits your rectilinear version....

This collection of artwork is amazing. I had no idea there were so many artist depictions of the tower.

It’s like lawyers, doctors, barbers, architects: the professionals donate to (are extorted by) politicians to create licensing boards controlled by those same professionals.

I had no idea there were so many artist depictions of the tower.Nor did I. My ignorance is why I started this survey initially. There are more images at the link.

The Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang North Korea is the tallest thing in that city. Sort of reminds me of the tower of Babel. Its a mixed use building that has never been finished and never opened. Has stood empty for 30 years now.
