Favorites: #3, a powerful work by the Russian Bronnikov. He was known for the harmony and purity of colors.
# 13 by von Gebbardt, the very talented and prolific German artist well known for his portraits and historical themes.
#20 and #41 by Tissot.
#20 and #32 stone carvings.

To: Hebrews 11:6
“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, THEY WILL NOT BE CONVINCED EVEN IF SOMEONE RISES FROM THE DEAD.’ ”

A bit of foreshadowing, there ... and something that rings true to this very day.

Regarding the artists, I see two interpretations of the rich man:
1) That he's simply enormously wealthy, and not paying attention to the world.
2) That he's a glutton and a drunkard and actively spurning Lazarus.

At Mass, we pray:I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers [and sisters], that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do ...

Some of the artists depict the rich man's sins as what he has done, others depict them as what he has failed to do.
