MATTHEW Chapter 2

9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

I love the Mosaic (#39). I would love to go to Ravenna and see the mosaics, as there are dozens of them there.

[Sans-Culotte]

I love renaissance paintings of the Adoration of the Magi!

[Maudeen]

https://www.gotquestions.org/three-wise-men.html

Beautiful paintings but IMHO I don’t think the artists understood the Scriptures.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’d suggest you might be able to fulfill your dream by visiting during the Millennium, except someone explained to me that we’ll be too busy praising God then for sightseeing.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You are far from alone in that.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I agree. It is a recurring theme here.

[left that other site]

Well, Pavenna is in Italy, and the New Jerusalem is in...Jerusalem! LOL!

(But since, in Square Miles, New Jerusalem will be larger than India, Ravenna will probably be within the city Limits.)

[left that other site]

Ravenna.

[Hebrews 11:6]

New Jerusalem comes after the Millennium.

[left that other site]

I plan on being around for BOTH! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’m counting on that.

[etabeta]

Bravo! One painting more glorious than the other. The essence of this divine event is displayed in each work from some of the most remarkable artists of the past.
Artists depicted historical dramas and persons in their respective current styles of apparel. As often as not, it is because this is what is the more familiar to artist and their audience. Also the artists had to please their patrons and their audience, but, when we focus only on the central figures, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, we see that they are never shown dressed in the style of the time. I, for one, love seeing these works for their value in giving us a view of the socio-cultural expressions of the past. It’s history coming alive.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus...are never shown dressed in the style of the time.

As they shouldn't be. Ran across a painting recently showing a biblical figure wearing one of those ridiculous wavy curlicue white collars from 1600s Netherlands. I hope I had enough sense to discard it.

#64, the Mowbray is interesting. I was surprised to see the date, 1915, as it looks as if he was trying for an antiquated, almost pre renaissance look...there's a 'flatness', or stilted formalism and somewhat lack of perspective...

It also does not resemble the airiness, pastel, and flowing style of most of his other work.

Here's his grandson showing one of his works on antique road show:

[spankalib]

Oh, PS - there’s those familiar symbols in there too!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mowbray's stood out to me also, so I placed it last. Its colors seem striking.

You know, John, you could own a donkey and an ox. And just imagine all that free fertilizer!
