Thanks very much for the WB, Dan - Between work and medical issues i have fallen far behind. Thanks very much also for the Prodigal Son, one of the crucial exemplars of Jesus' message! Interesting that the Italian Masters all treated of the departure of the Prodigal Son while the Teutonic and Flemish Masters all depicted him wallowing with the harlots.

Tom, I rejoice with you that our wise and loving God is in complete control of all the challenges we face.

I hadn't noticed the cultural bifurcation of artistic responses. Many more images still to come.

By the way, speaking of artists' choices: in #28, Rembrandt portrayed himself as the Prodigal and his wife as the Prostitute.
