KING HEROD BEHEADS
JOHN THE BAPTIST

[joma89]

This post demands a “2nd amendment ping”.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Because?

Interesting that Herod would dine while in the presence of a severed head.

Good series!

Happy New Year Dan! Happy New Year to all who trust our God of grace.

A difficult topic, but beautiful art talent on display;
#52 Rubens (Herodias gloats)
#59 Delaroche (light, mood, color)
#69 Levy (Herod’s body language says much)

Thank You Dan. May we all be joyful for a new year, filled with many possibilities =:^)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Says everything we need to know about him.

[Hebrews 11:6]

A gruesome ending to the year.

Disturbing before breakfast!
All are great paintings. #38, Caravaggio; the intricate wood carving at #40; Bernardino Luini at #43.
#48 by the 19th c. Dutch artistJ. A. Kruseman. He was as well known for his portraits as for his biblical scenes. The eyes of Salome reveal her hatred, her lack of compassion, empty eyes. Like mother, like daughter.
Loving 15th c. Spanish artists, my favorite is #63 by De Benavarres, beautiful and highly detailed.
#66, remarkable mosaic.

Thank you etabeta; appreciate your teaching of useful information, with details too =:^)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hope your appetite can rebound! And Happy New Year!

[etabeta]

Thank you, InkStone and a very Happy New Year!

I will skip breakfast, consider it intermittent fasting. And a super Happy New Year to you and family, Dan.

Cheers

Good Mornig, Dan.:-)

Happy New Year.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Happy New Year!

And to you, Mary-Lou. Just left a Prime Directive greeting for you.

Good Afternoon, Dan, and Happy New Year! A gruesome array indeed. I favor No. 46, the Hans Unger, for encapsulating the wickedness of Salome.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

I have no intention of “turning the other check” with the enemies of Christianity.
