"All of the characters in the Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) are present in this canvas. Surprisingly, there are some parallels to the Garden of Eden, including (besides the similar settings) a loving couple, the presence of God, an evil force (the little foxes that spoil the grapes) and guards--not angelic this time but city officials who figure in the lovers' dreams.". .

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don't need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby's. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm always asking the Holy Spirit to guide.
A r t
Q u a l i t yOften, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.
The Protestant Canon does not (for several reasons) follow a strictly chronological sequence. There are many examples where, for God's good purposes, stories are told out-of-order. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity, clarity, and my sanity, I have chosen to proceed linearly and methodically from Genesis onward, illustrating each Bible passage as we come to it. Where two passages cover the same incident I omit the second telling, excepting the four Gospels which I will treat synoptically. Now, onward!
T e x t
S e q u e n c i n gThe pace here may seem appallingly snail-like to those eager to see their favorite events illustrated. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence: if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic (but where there is little or no art, that Bible passage goes untold here).
P a c i n g Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything; if I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest. Rather, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?
The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!. .
Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I'm just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.Hebrews 11:6

Good Morning, Dan! :-)
Mary-Lou!
20, 21 and 24...
Good choices. I’ll see your 20, 21 and 24 and raise you 22 and 26.
#2 is called La Belle Dame sans Merci, by Frank Dicksee. It was based on a ballad by John Keats. The title of the ballad was derived from a 15th-century poem by Alain Chartier. Very beautiful.
I am too ignorant either to recognize works as you do or to track them to their source. I try to post honestly, but at least I have you to rely on. You're like the Painting Police, and I am intensely grateful for your vigilance and candor.
I came across that picture years ago when researching chivalry in Medieval times. I just wanted to give you more information as it is very beautiful.
If you want to find the source of a picture, here is what I used to do. Click on google, at the top right click on Images, then on the camera symbol and then Paste Image URL. It should bring up the source and the artist.
Please do not lament your ignorance, I have great admiration and gratitude seeing how much you find to illustrate the Bible, I truly have.
Thank you exceedingly, I am eager to try it on the 50% or so of images with no attributions!
And I learned from someone on Facebook!
It works very well, I tried with your picture #4. Another Frank Dicksee, Romeo and Juliet.
I had thought #s 2, 3 & 4 looked quite similar, which is why I grouped them. This promises to revolutionize this series, if it doesn’t prove to be too cumbersome. I’ll try it soon.
Lovely selections!
I added yours to tomorrow’s, along with a link to your explanation of the calligraphy.
The calligrapher, Michael d’Anastasio (born 1968 in France), is left-handed, which is an unique challenge that he has overcome. I suspect it may be easier in Hebrew, which reads right to left.
LOL—finally, a benefit of writing right-to-left!
I was so delighted when I learned why some languages go right to left: it’s because originally they were carved in stone with a hammer and chisel. If you carve letters, you hold the chisel with your left hand and the hammer with the right. Then it’s easier to chisel right to left.
