Have never seen that, Alba; indeed, it’s the first work I’ve seen depicting the apostles’ post-crucifixion misery. It’s tremendous, and I’m grabbing it for future use.

To: Hebrews 11:6

I saw this painting yesterday and I knew you would grab it.

From some notes I wrote down: “Albert Edward Bailey, writing in The Gospel in Art, sees “not a ray of hope on any face.” Peter’s head is in his hands; John wears a pained expression. “What that ‘Holy Saturday’ meant to these bewildered disciples in anguish, deep-seated longing, and unspoken sorrow, only those who have loved much and lost can ever know.”
