The Bible In Paintings 80D: Third of Three Parables of Redemption—THE LOST SON, Part 4

c.2,200 BC - c.95 AD | by the Father, Son & Holy Spirit

[Hebrews 11:6]

Luke 15 records three Parables of Redemption which Jesus told. We looked at The Lost Sheep and The Lost Coin, and now this is our final of four days on The Lost Son—The Prodigal. We saw him claim his inheritance and then squander it all on old-fashioned debauchery; then, he became desperate while caring for swine.

LUKE 15:

Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.

"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' So he got up and went to his father.

"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

"'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'"

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

And to you, Mary-Lou!

[etabeta]

A remarkable Egbert Mommerman #27, he makes the figures come alive. I didn’t know this Dutch painter, he has made his place in the art world.
Copping #5; Losev #15; Drouais #26, stained glass windows, all wonderful in depicting this beloved story of redemption, forgiveness, and just unconditional love.

[etabeta]

Modderman looked familiar, I remember now that you posted a photo of his painting of the widow of Nain.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Modderman has a small gallery, but I always check it because, as you say, his works stand out. I've posted several Egberts previously.

[Hebrews 11:6]

That small white casket is hard to forget--along with the look on her face.

[etabeta]

Thanks, Dan. He painted well the heartbreaking reality of that mother. Her grief is in her eyes.
An artist to watch. I understand he did several Biblical paintings.

[Hebrews 11:6]

They’re listed at the link in post #7—just scroll down.

[etabeta]

Oh, my! He is terrific. His Abraham is outstanding.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

“A remarkable Egbert Mommerman #27, he makes the figures come alive. I didn’t know this Dutch painter, he has made his place in the art world.”

Very expressive. But I prefer the impressionistic #17. I really get a sense of the phrase “While he was still far off, he father saw him and ran to him.”
