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.
It’s a good mix Dan, just keep on as you’re doing. RE: Gentileschi’s works- yes, some topics touch us more deeply than others.
I really never knew Tissot or Dore’ until I found them here. Their muted tones may be nearer to the reality of those days; dye was expensive. Look forward to seeing more of them.
