To: Hebrews 11:6

Good morning to All.
Of interest: #41, a Greek icon, oil painting on wood covered with a thin layer of brass.

#48, Jaume Huguet - painter of the Spanish Early Renaissance. His distinctive style, the symmetry of the figures, the use of a gold backdrop and his very skilled students in his workshop, made him an artist in high demand.

#49, Cranach - This is the center panel of a larger narrative of the Passion of Christ. It is called The Reformation Altarpiece. Cranach was a friend and supporter of Martin Luther, one of the disciples has been identified as Luther himself. Interesting that Christ is offering a piece of bread to Judas...

#54, a gorgeous page from a Florentine gradual.

#55 a very somber Last Supper by Mcnaughton.
