Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.
That was fun. Fortunately, my Co-Writer gives me input. Hardly anyone will see this, being so late in the day, so I'll show you what I did, out of context:

I’m sure that made some kind of sense—I’ve seen many examples of importing biblical scenes into contemporary norms—but I just can’t get with it. A current example might be illustrating the Last Supper in a skyscraper restaurant with the diners in coats and ties. Hope Richard McBee and Eggbert Modderman don’t see this....
It was the era of romanticism in art and literature. I admire Rossetti very much, it doesn’t bother me if he painted an idealized King David, I see wonderful details that carry me into the mind and vision of the artist.
Thanks for explaining that. I wonder if appreciation for romanticism is an acquired taste.
Maybe, I don’t know. The movement was of intense personal expression, a glorification of imagination. Look at the Romantic era in music, great composers who reflected the ideals of the movement in their compositions. It lasted until the end of the 19th c. with composers like Mahler (my favorite) who helped bridge the Romantic era and Modernism.
Now I am really sorry I have hijacked your page with that picture of King David.
So, please keep on "hijacking"! Anyway, I told you I knew I was creating a monster, so it's my own fault.
Too kind, Dan. I was late because I had a telephone call from Italy...you know how talkative Italians are...
How can Italians even talk on the phone? The other party can’t see your hands flying around! Oh, I get it—on a smart phone with picture capability. I have an old flip-phone that my daughter calls my “potato phone.”
Two of my favorite psalms! I love your picture selection.

” Try it sometime: pick an action verse and imagine how to illustrate it with photos”
I thought of Psalm 150, another favorite.
If you follow through, I'm willing to consider adding it as a guest posting, with full blame attribution, of course.
