Happy Day to you Dan, and what wonderful responses, each of you!
You’ve chosen so many fine ones; again, I love the multiple submissions from the same artists.
#11 & #12 Rubens; similar yet the scene changes.
#22, #23 & #24 Van Honthorst- they’re like snapshots, taken a moment apart. New people step in, others turn, some are still. Surely, that’s how it was. #24 is almost a different style, yet the same painter- What flexible skills.
#46 Domenichino is remarkable; even several children and angels. Note many paintings show a lamb trussed...
Thank you Dan; these indeed beg further study.
In ten days we'll be fleeing to Egypt, and we'll see Orazio Gentileschi's three versions of the holy family resting, painted over the span of a decade-plus. It just kept nagging at him, I guess. Should I include the donkey, or not? If I don't, how do I arrange what is left?
By the same token, this is what differentiates Tissot and Doré. They never spend their effort repeating; rather, they move on to the next incident, and in doing so they've each produced several hundred biblical works.
