To: Hebrews 11:6

All beautiful but the one that impressed me the most is Raphael at #13. It is a stunning painting, on a grandiose scale. It includes, on the lower level, the miracle of the possessed boy, healed by Christ upon his return among the people. Christ is seen in a glory of light and clouds above his dazzled disciples. On the scene below, some of the people are pointing to Christ, linking the two themes together. This was the last painting of Raphael before his death. The 16thy c. Vasari considered this painting as “the most famous, the most beautiful, the most divine”.
#13 by Carl Bloch is very beautiful. I will try to look for a clearer photo.
#19 by Hole.
