To: Hebrews 11:6

So many beautiful paintings. My preference are #9 by Crespi; #13 Rembrandt; #31 Gentileschi; #40 Varallo; #42 Patinir with a splendid landscape and #43 by Merson. Genial to place Mary and baby Jesus sleeping within the paws of the sphinx.

Symbolic of Egypt's protection during Herod's insanity.
