#25 seems a bit out of focus........................
Good Morning!
:-)
Like #1, captivating scene, crowd in rapt attention.
I love Karoly Ferenczy’s painting (#32), a different interpretation. The scene has a calm and pastoral quality, Jesus is not trapped in past history but is an ongoing presence in the contemporary world.
Great paintings you assembled for today lesson.
I don’t believe the Sermon on the Mount is preached much these days.
I glanced through the pictures comparing them to my experience on the Mount (or near to it) when I was in Israel.
Tissot pretty much nailed it. There were olive and acacia trees there and taller grass (knee high), but he got the black basalt rocks scattered on the hill right. Very convenient for sitting and listening.
Our pastor stood at the bottom of the hill and lectured up at us, 50-60 on the tour, and we heard him clearly from a hundred feet away.
1 and 24 are the same painting, 1 is just a closeup of the full, wide painting. I always wish there was more background painted in the Bloch. As I have always image once Christ began speaking that the crowd would have moved up and closer to him while he spoke.
