JOHN, Chapter 1

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou! What’s a nice girl like you doing in a thread like this?

[left that other site]

LOL.

[etabeta]

Very much like #4 by Alexander Ivanov. There is a lot happening here, the first appearance of Christ to people while John baptizes the people in the river Jordan. At right, an old man and a young boy emerge from the waters listening intently to the Baptist speaking. Simon is straining his ear to the words of the Baptist while Nathaniel, eyes downcast and arms crossed and hidden in the sleeves of his tunic, stands unmoved by the prophet’s words. The apostle John is next to a shivering boy.
On the right we see a group of people, their backs turned away from Christ, they represent those who are set in their ways, unable to change, immersed in the conflicts and doubts, in the passions that have always been part of human nature.
I like the placement of Christ. He seems to have come out of a misty light, out of the harmony of nature and heaven to join humanity on earth.
And of course, many beautiful stained glass windows.

[Hebrews 11:6]

How did you identify Simon, Nathanael and John?

[etabeta]

I didn’t, art scholars identified them. I had seen this painting years ago, liked it a lot so I started reading everything I could find on it.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Very interesting. I would have expected Andrew’s presence, based on John 1:40-41. And I am surprised at Nathanael’s, who indeed was skeptical and whom Philip had to cajole into a visit to Jesus: “Come and see.”

[etabeta]

Andrew is there, if I am not mistaken, standing next to Nathanael. I just didn’t mention him.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Feeling any better?

[etabeta]

Yes, thank you!

[Maudeen]

Thanks for your faithful “keeping on” with the Bible in Paintings.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you’re appreciative; but as for “keeping on”: God started me, and only God can stop me. I’m having the time of my life.

[Marchmain]

Amazing.
