PARALYTIC LOWERED THROUGH A ROOF |
Astounded by #35, and never having heard of Jan Rambouts I discovered the following:
Jan Rombouts the Elder, (c. 1480 in Leuven – 1535 in Leuven), was a Flemish Renaissance painter, glass painter, draftsman, printmaker and glass designer. The subjects of his work are stories from the Old and New Testament and the lives of Christian saints. The details of the life of Jan Rombouts are sketchy. He signed his work with a monogram which had been read by the 19th century city archivist of Leuven Edward van Even as representing the letters IVR.
One of my favorite stories!..................
I’ve found very few fensters attributed to Rombouts, but windows usually are unattributed, so that’s unsurprising.
And I thoroughly enjoyed The Chosen's treatment of it.
This series of Bible Story books for children [adults can enjoy them too!] is probably the best ever printed:

I wonder if they are still in print?....................
IIRC, #29 is the illustration that accompanied the story in those Bible Story books. But that was from 60 years ago when I was a kid reading them, so I may be mistaken.................
Splendid #1; #9 by Copping. Love #19 by Richards, a contemporary Christian artist, a very sensitive composition.
#34 by Kim whose work I greatly admire.
Among the fenster, #35 by Rombouts is exquisite.
A bit of nostalgia for you. That’s always fun.....................
Good Morning, Dan. :-)
Mary-Lou: Season’s Greetings!
Merry Advent to you! :-)
Good Morning Dan, and glad Friday to each of you!
One of our favorite Bible stories- and so many favorites here:
#9 Copping
#16 (glass)
#23 (artist unknown) Dan, this one is my favorite; the Savior looks up to His Father in joy, as this emaciated sinner is made whole.
Isn’t this each our own story too? We were wasted and dirty, reviled, but the Creator of the stars was willing to hike thru the wilderness, looking for a lost sheep. Then He placed us across His shoulders, and brought us home.
Thank You Dan =:^)
That’s a GREAT painting Dan - thanks -

Great Art; thanks Red Badger. Still sold on Amazon!
Well said, Leon.
And in Kim’s painting: hope you noticed Jesus’ amusement.
A happy expression indeed Dan. And the surface of the water; how did Kim do that?
My vote goes to no. 19, which best shows the outside crowd which had prevented the paralytic from reaching Jesus.
There some neat parallels here to that from John 5 about the paralytic at the Bethesda pool who was unable to enter the pool by himself. Unlike our first man here, who had friends to help, the man at the pool had no one. Jesus rewarded both for their hope and faith.
