Memling, Tissot and especially Salvador Dali whose Crucifixion was regarded as banal by an art critic at the first London exhibit. Marvelous work, very moving. The painting is known as the Christ of Saint John of the Cross, because its design is based on a drawing by the 16th-century Spanish friar John of the Cross.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good morning, Alba! As I am tremendously and irretrievably dense, perhaps one of you kind ladies will explain the boat and men in Dalí’s #4.

[etabeta]

Dan, it depicts the Bay of Port Lligat, on the Costa Brava, where Dali had a home at the time he made this painting.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I thank you, Alba—that was sublime. The thrifty Scots know to “hold fast to that which is good.”

[Bob434]

23 by Grunewald sure didn’t pull. Any punches by ‘cleaning up the scene for the audience’ the pain and 5orture that Christ underwent for us was unreal. There flogging whips back then had bits of thorns and sharp rocks and sharp pottery shards that they would embed in the whip which would break off and stick,in the skin to inflict tremendousmpain an suffering. 23 caught that gruesome effect.

Gotta look into gaugins ‘yellow christ’- I doubt gaugin was religious, having sought and lived a hedonistic lifestyle, but perhaps his religious paintings had some kind of,influence on him later in life. Always liked his paintings.

Tissot of course always great, creates great theatrical scenes, like,perhaps an illustrator for an epic movie would do to promote it, and get people,interested by the grand scale and majestic scenes.

28 Messina, what an interesting depiction of the scene. Feels very lonesome even with the two women there, they seem to feel alone now too. Rabbit and owl in the scene- rabbit an signify new life as we discussed ear,earlier,, not sure what owl represents. People in the background wal,Wal, off towards the city again, leaving the scene it seems. I like that there aren’t 3 crosses, makes Christ’s stand out more, good use of contrast to draw attention.

36 Giovani really gets to me. The anguish of Mary. Everything else is excluded fro the scene, and it is just the two of them in a personal spiritual connection, as she thinks she is losing her lord and master and beloved teacher. The pain must have been excruciating for her, and the others as well of course, but this painting zeros in on her pain and how it affected her personally. Powerfully depicted.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Nice post, Bob.

she thinks she is losing her lord and master and beloved teacher

While it is true, as stated explicitly in Scripture, that the disciples remained ignorant of the need for Christ's death and the inevitability of His resurrection, I cannot help but suppose that Jesus had let His mother in on the whole story. So, if true, then she knows she is not "losing her lord and master and beloved teacher"; her anguish becomes no less intense, but she cries only the ordinary tears a mother has when watching her child suffer..

[Bob434]

Thank you for posting that, there’s usually so much more going on behind great works of art than meet the eye. The video was insightful.came to appreciate the painti g even more,

[Bob434]

I think it was her that was shocked and overwhelmed that christ was not In Tomb, no? Or was that the other mary?

[Bob434]

The painting was of Mary magdelan whom heretics claim was the ‘wife of jesus’

11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. 15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). 17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.”

[Albion Wilde]

Thank you for the wonderful link, etabeta. I saw Hebrews 11:6's comment first, and I thought of "fishers of men", but was confused by the Spanish grandee costumes the fishermen were wearing. Glad the video explained that the men and fishing boat were indeed intended to symbolize the Great Commission, and also that the seven hills are the continents.

It is a magnificent painting, so transcendent a vision. Wikipedia says someone attacked the painting with a stone and ripped it with their hands, but it was carefully restored. Even an image of Christ does bring the demons to the surface, does it not?

[etabeta]

You are all very welcome! Yes, I read about the attacks on the canvass, so much hatred around, past and present.

[left that other site]

Hi Dan! I see that Etabeta has already answeed your Dali question, so I don’t need to dally any further.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’ll be seeing plenty of the Magdalene here, later this week.

[Bob434]

If I recall,right, wasn’t the fella that attacked it and others mentally unstable? Maybe I’m thj king of another incident?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Dally not, Boston Beauty!

Out of all these moving paintings, I was struck by the one depicting an eclipse. That’s a kind of a naturalistic explanation for the darkness at noon. But since Jesus was crucified at the full moon (Passover), it was physically impossible. The moon was on the other side of the earth. Eclipses only happen at new moon, when the moon is between the earth and the sun.

Then there’s the minor matter the darkness lasted from noon until 3 pm. No eclipse totality lasts longer than about 5 minutes. I know. I watched a total eclipse in 2017 here in Illinois.

Like the star of Bethlehem, I think this is another supernatural heavenly sign.

Expect more when He comes again.
