Love #16 by Batoni, a favorite of mine. Guercino, Murillo, Tissot, Dore’, a wonderful procession of artists. I was scratching my head on the De Chirico who was too surrealistic to have painted that. In fact it is a painting in a Vienna Church by Carl Johann Hemerlein. I will refrain to post the De Chirico painting which is, in my personal opinion, too absurd.
Did I tell you how much I appreciate these pages and the enormous work you do on them? BRAVO!
Good Morning!
Once again, I love Tissot’s interpretation, especially with the nosy neighbors looking on at the father and son’s totally unabashed moment of emotional reunion.
The prodigal brother...
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!
