The Bible In Paintings: ✝️ PETER & JOHN AT JESUS' TOMB ✝️

[Hebrews 11:6]

How do they think about ‘being filled with the Spirit’ or being ‘born again’ ?

Oh, they believe--that we are crazy, religious fanatics, Jesus freaks.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Here is Charlie Daniels as Peter in a stirring full-blown rendition of "HE'S ALIVE!"

[Mr. K]

those two Tanners look like very different styles

a stirring full-blown rendition of “HE’S ALIVE!”

Thank You Dan; he’s very good, and love the ‘orchestra’ too

[Hebrews 11:6]

I will be interested in her response to your observation, but I do note this: in the first Tanner, #16, John has not yet entered the tomb, still standing outside in the darkness. In the second, #23, they have entered and the emphasis has shifted, perhaps accounting for the stylistic difference. What I have noticed about Tanner’s works is that he seems to favor dark scenes.

HA! Isn’t that the truth.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I do have editorial control here, with final say over who gets displayed. Let’s just say that I can be as ruthless as necessary.

I came in through his Southern genre paintings, and stayed to admire his religious art. This is probably his most famous:

"The Banjo Lesson"

[AnAmericanMother]

And there is Benjamin West, of all people!!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, I had read about that.

[Hebrews 11:6]

And your point is?

[AnAmericanMother]

With respect to Mr. West or Mr. Tanner?

[Hebrews 11:6]

I replied to your post #29, so West.

[AnAmericanMother]

Got it! Was just musing that it’s remarkable that an American painter from what was the edge of the world in those days, entirely self-taught, rose to be president of the Royal Academy, King’s Painter, and many other honors. . . including being mezzo-tinted and engraved all over the place.

[Hebrews 11:6]

None of us can read your mind.

[AnAmericanMother]

True! I apologize for not making myself clear. It is absolutely wonderful that a self-taught artist from the American frontier can produce works like this.

Look up his "Ascension" when we get to that point.

[Hebrews 11:6]

By necessity, I work weeks ahead of publication. The Ascension is in my rear-view mirror—and West is included.

[AnAmericanMother]

Looking forward to it!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Since this thread is outdated and so is unlikely to be widely seen, I'll treat you to a sneak-peek of its title. Considering the subject, it seems impossible to go over-the-top:

JESUS ASCENDS
TO HEAVEN!!!

My late husband was a pyrotechnist. That is marvelous!
