HOW GOD PROMPTED
THIS BIBLE-ART SERIES

"The Bible comes alive so much more with all the
illustrations, paintings, sculptures and stained glass windows.
Through them the stories are crystallized in our minds."


”Reading the Bible, we meditate, we think deeply about faith and beliefs, we gain insights and, thanks to all these great artists, these paintings become visual teachings and a powerful companion to the Bible.”

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

These make me think what it must have been like to be there.

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...

I know Turchi (#28) also painted under the name "L'Orretto" and one other name.

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!
