Rahab was one of Jesus ancestors.................

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

I really like the pen-and-ink #16. Also the Tissots.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Isn’t that marvelous?!

[Hebrews 11:6]

And to you, Mary-Lou! I’m with you about Fortunino Matania’s #16. (What a name! I’m considering changing mine to Fortunino.)

[etabeta]

Beautiful #16 by the Italian Fortunino Matania, who became well known for his war and historical scenes.
Tissot always and #33 by Shields who was greatly influenced by the work of Rossetti and other artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Shields made me work to imagine how scarlet is that rope.

And evidently Fortunino has won today's thread.

[super7man]

I could add an interesting caption to some of those pictures. :o)

[Squidpup]

Agreed regarding Fortunino Matania. But Chagall....

[marktwain]

Yes, she was in the direct line to David and Jesus.

You beat me to it.

Thank you.

[Hebrews 11:6]

"Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab"
Matthew 1:5

Perhaps a hearty thanks is in order to Salmon, who somehow teamed up with--surely by marriage--with Rahab. And I wonder whether Rahab attended Boaz's wedding to Ruth and whether she held her grandson Obed (which we'll cover here in three weeks).

Is God ever laughing....

[Hebrews 11:6]

I was thinking yesterday that I have never seen a Chagall painting that I liked. He's a big name so I include him, but....

[Red Badger]

Perhaps a hearty thanks is in order to Salmon, who somehow teamed up with--surely by marriage--with Rahab.

I dunno.........sounds fishy to me................

[Hebrews 11:6]

It would..........................

[InkStone]

Good Morning to all!
Fantastic Works Dan; thank you so much. Yes indeed, No. 16 shows the artist’s great skill.
God gave Rahab a great opportunity; may we be as attentive...

[Hebrews 11:6]

God gave Rahab a great opportunity; may we be as attentive

Well put, Leon. God gives everyone that opportunity, and it seems inescapable that He included her story so prominently to emphasize that and to encourage us similarly.

[SisterK]

a lot of quality art today
#16 is beautiful

but I am also captivated by #10

[Hebrews 11:6]

# 10 illustrates aptly, I think, the tight spot in which Rahab found herself. God knew the eventual outcome, but she certainly did not.

[delchiante]

Nice selections.
Although it isn’t simple to create, I like #32 for its scene setting. And the only ‘color’ is the scarlet thread..
