Thank you - what beautiful pieces you find and stories you provide, great job.

Just sharing the bounty! Artists apparently consider the Burning Bush as their Mother Lode. Although the "stories I provide" are simply the Bible text. If a Bible passage is mundane it doesn't inspire lots of art, so I don't have anything to work with and therefore just don't include it; so I'm really just cherrypicking.

Just curious: did you have a favorite, one that jumped out? For me it was the last one (which is why, of course, I put it last), the naked Moses sitting before naked God.

But you may find the next installment but one to be less beautiful than grim. Well, put it this way: Jews rightly celebrate the Passover and produce joyous artwork, as you'll see; but I've yet to run across an Egyptian who does.
