THESE TWELVE ARE CALLED "MINOR"

THAN THE FOUR "MAJOR" PROPHETS:
ISAIAH, JEREMIAH, EZEKIEL AND DANIEL..

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA
A r t
Q u a l i t y
The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." Indeed, occasionally photographs actually illustrate the text. 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.Often, 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.
T e x t
S e q u e n c i n g
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 am treating synoptically. Now, onward!
P a c i n g
The 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).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!
Sparkles to you, Mary-Lou!
Soaking up the beauty of Renaissance painters...#22 by Martín Bernat in collaboration with Miguel Ximénez, prominent Spanish artists. Ximénez painted also a very beautiful St. Michael.
#12, the tranquil and expressive Prophet Amos by Juan de Borgoña, another major Spanish painter, born in the Duchy of Burgundy and active in Spain at the end of the 15th century.
Sorry to have missed Jonah, we lost our beloved Bernese Daisy, heartbroken I retrieved into my shell...
So sorry for your loss. That's a tough one.
Welcome back! You know, as I post these I speculate which ones you will applaud. You're slowly teaching me to recognize and appreciate the "better" ones.
Thank you very much for your prayers. I know they helped my broken heart. She was only 6 years old, a bundle of sweetness and love.
Still praying, now for comfort, encouragement, joy....
I have experienced that heartbreak more than once, and understand.
((((HUGS))))
Thank you again, Dan!
You’re my sister in the faith, Alba, and I love you in that way. How can I not pray fervently for you?
Now you make me cry all over again. I love you too, my brother in spirit.
Nice! Thanks for that.
Please explain why you posted that here, since it has no readily apparent connection to anything on this thread.
Thank you again for these wonderful posts!
🙂
((((Here's a secret--whatever you do, don't tell anyone: I've completed preparing posts on the Old Testament and am into the New. SHHHHHHH!!!))))
One of your posted links was to Sodom and Gomorrah so you mean the painting of "The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah" by the English painter John Martin from 1852 along with my message is not relevant? Sorry that I forgot the attribution (so thanks for asking about relevance) but also that you are apparently not familiar with it.
Martin also painted The Eve of the Deluge, 1840:
The Deluge:
The Fall of Babylon: 1831:
Pandæmonium (Paradise Lost):
Belshazzar's Feast, c.1821:
Sorry that...you are apparently not familiar with it.
When I began this series nine months ago I was a complete neophyte about everything associated with it. Not only did not not know how to post pictures, but also I had no idea how to find them, other than simply to ask a search engine. So, when I illustrated Sodom and Gomorrah (post #13, the one post to which I forgot to append a title!), I missed not only Martin's but also many other artists'.
Gradually since then, I have discovered (I just now counted) forty-one distinct sources. How I wish for the opportunity to go back and do justice to those early subjects, even as one wishes for the chance to replay one's youth! Alas, and Hallelujah!, instead the entire New Testament stretches now before me.
