I looked #6 up, as I liked the 'softness' of the scene...eta scores again!

I liked Bassano, #8. He uses symbolism a LOT!...and I noticed his 'slaughtered calf' uhhh...front and center? (in yo face!), along with an abundance of food (riches) all over the painting.

#17 well shows how emaciated the son was.

One sermon about this that stuck with me over the years...the pastor emphasized the father's running, and # 12, Weenix at least hints a little at that.

So many excellent works here...thanks Danny boy!

[Hebrews 11:6]

the pastor emphasized the father's running

God is always eager to recognize, respond to, and reward our repentance.

[Verginius Rufus]

There's a "Peanuts" strip in which Linus is telling someone the story of the Prodigal Son, and mentions how the father ordered the fattened calf to be slaughtered. Snoopy is listening and asks himself, "What did the fattened calf do to deserve that?"

Now back to the more serious comments...
