Still, the other day when collecting pictures showing Pharaoh's daughter and her aides finding baby Moses while they were bathing in the Nile, I had no compunctions about rejecting several where they were wearing billowing silk ballgowns. My rationale is that the Spirit's charge to me is not presenting art about the Bible, but rather the Bible illustrated--it is about the Word, not the art. Billowing silk ballgowns at water's edge would distract viewers from the story.
That would certainly be a distraction!
I wasn’t critical of your choices, it’s just kind of funny that the artists would’ve chosen to “dress” their subjects according to their own contemporary fashions, especially when they must’ve known it was historically inaccurate.🙂
