LUKE, Chapter 2

22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

I enjoy art by the Masters, but I am mesmerized by the work of the Hudson Valley School. Their treatment of light is simply amazing. Albert Bierstadt’s paintings of the Sierra Nevada mountains are magical.

One thing most of these painter probably didn’t realize is that there would probably have been HUNDREDS of babies being presented that day! It would have looked like the Santa Clause store scene from “A Christmas Story”!................The line forms in the back, you two!................

It’s a shame that Albert, in painting God’s creation, did not also choose to illuminate God’s Word—and then he’d have been featured here.

Maybe God arranged it so that He was the only baby to be born on that particular day, so He was the only baby to be presented that day!.............

Sorry, I appended Simeon and Anna to the title erroneously. I’ll have an entire thread on them tomorrow. I have the Rembrandt, but if memory serves the Shishkin is new to me. I’ll hasten to add it.

I’m with you—except for the “gal” part. As I scroll down I see image after image after image of group closeups, until suddenly Tissot has a different, dramatic vision. See in context that way, it is quite arresting and striking.

Love the Tissot rendering. He seems to be the only one who accurately shows the high steps leading to the altar. Joseph carries the cage with the turtledoves, gift to the Temple. Simeon, holding baby Jesus high, acknowledges the child as the Messiah. I guess the woman with the outstretched arms is the prophetess Anna, rejoicing and thanking God.

Indeed.

There are quite a few artists who have been relegated to the somewhat “lesser” category of “Illustrator”. Funny thing is, I love their work!
Here are a few that have been branded by the “Art World” with this epithet:

Norman Rockwell
James Tissot
Maxfield Parrish

I don’t know if it is their style or the fact that their paintings end up “illustrating” books and periodicals, but “Illustration” is considered to be a different discipline than “Painting”. However, Illustrations, at least in the time of the aforementioned ARTISTS, start out as PAINTINGS.

Maybe it’s different now, as I am remembering Art School from 50 years ago. We “Illustrators” were quite often sneered at by the “Painters”. Has anyone else experienced that?

Since I majored in Graphic Design (pre-computer!) I was very aware of the distinction.

Tissot, by including the crowd, seems to highlight their wonder: "What's going on? Why is that old man lifting that baby? And why is that old woman crying?"

Wise people are still lifting and crying.

You would know, but I—along with so very many—LOVE Rockwell. Parrish is new to me; as you also know, I am an official Art Ignoramus.

As far as I know, Parrish didn’t do any Biblical Art, but here are some of his images:
