Thanks!
Sure!
A grand finale for the OT. I especially like the carvings at #22-29-30. Infinite thanks for this thread, Dan!
Infinite! You are expansive this morning, Alba.
Since the entire OT points to Jesus, it’s fitting to conclude its coverage, I think, with His grand entrance.
Fascinating,
Thanks Dan.
My pleasure.
Good Morning, Dan. :-)
Mary-Lou! Always a pleasure....
The use of bright colors symbolize the joy, the almost overwhelming joy that was felt, and several of the artists had foreshadowing ;
- the Roman soldier in colorful #3
- #4's color, and looong perspective
- #5 yes color, but notice the use of black-cloked (KJV spelling) 4shadowing (4sh).
- #27 - prominent black 4sh
- #28, obvious 4sh!
- #6 Dore...That's Dore? Wow. Great colors, but Jesus is in a dark cloke.
#10, Tissot, you can almost hear the Hosanna's!
- 4sh in #11, 21, & 24
- # 16 ...colors!!
I think the use of contrast is so appropriate, given that we know...the artists knew what was to happen, but still, the bright colors with no contrast pieces make me think the artists just wanted to focus on the joy of the moment...
Often, I stumble upon colored Dorés, and I assume some unknown percentage of them were colorized by admirers.
the artists just wanted to focus on the joy of the moment...
If they didn't, they missed the point, eh?
But he did not paint (at least as far as I can find) under the name "Pedro Orrente", (re: #5).
Unless the name "Orrente" has been translated to "L'Orrento".
With the exception of the cherubim, they are remarkably similar.
What am I missing?
Good Morning Dan, and good morning to each visitor here. Every contribution is appreciated.
Great Choices here; quite a variety of surprises. Much love #31 JEAN-LÉON GÉRÔME; he was a very gifted artist indeed. Many talented sculptors in France during that time.
Thank you much Dan!
It’s been a pleasure reading your posts every morning, Dan.
I have to go back and start from the beginning to see what I’ve missed.
Do you have any new projects in the works?
This is a Scripture series, not an art history. Generally, therefore, I am uninterested in laboring over artists' biographical details, leaving that entirely to knowledgeable aficionados such as you and the three others I pinged; indeed, routinely I ignore qualifiers like "from the circle of" and "from the workshop of" and simply list the artist. Instead, I am content to provide any readily available indication from the source, and if none is apparent I settle happily for anonymity without bothering to search. Were it not for the consternation among viewers that inevitably would result, I could without compunction omit all attributions entirely.
Meanwhile, adequately illustrating the text is my focus exclusively.
This lengthy response is all out of proportion to your innocuous inquiry, Sonny, but I am merely using this occasion to state my policy.
Um, the New Testament? After a brief hiatus, which I will trumpet tomorrow.
You know, Pete, after our extensive conversation yesterday, it occurs to me to provide you with the following outline of the entire Bible:
OLD TESTAMENT (Genesis thru Malachi): JESUS IS COMING!THE 4 GOSPELS (Matthew through John): JESUS IS HERE!
NEW TESTAMENT (Acts thru Revelation): JESUS IS RETURNING!
Thanks Dan! I actually did a little reading last night from the Book of Wisdom.
But what you wrote is a great guide for me.
Have a great day!
Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in reading, and He will.
