Good morning Dan!
#67 is my favorite, and the Tiffany windows are amazing!

Tiffany played an entirely different game than did the other fenstermachers.

Good Morning Dan, and a glad Wednesday to all.

So many wonders:
#64 Copping
#67 Hahlbohm
#68 Foret

And wonderful reliefs, and the fenster... a parade of exciting windows!

Thank You Dan!

a parade of exciting windows!

And now--thanks to you, Leon--I am imagining a line of colorful windows dance-marching past me in formation, cartoon-style. The Merry Window Parade!

Yes Dan; old ‘40s and 50s’ cartoon style marching indeed! Plenty of those on YouTube; some quite funnie.

Just can't help smiling at all the German and Flemish painters adopting the convention of just showing Christ's feet vanishing upwards.

Surprised at Constable - primarily a landscape painter.

But some beautiful work here!

All the artists, regardless of nationality, seem to have adopted the convention that Jesus entered heaven barefoot.

Which means, of course, that we cannot now speak metaphorically of "walking in Jesus' shoes"--not, I hasten to add, that anyone could ever actually fill Jesus' shoes.

We are not worthy to unloose the latchet of his shoes.

In the pictures, they all are barefoot.

Wow, these are great.

I was immediately attracted to the simplicity and serenity of #67, which depicts the Spirit (dove: "Jonah", "Columbia"), but then when I rolled along to #99.

It was like a blast of 1969 in loud, living color. I'd never scene a robe like that for Christ. Lorenzo was 500+ years ahead of his time! It's too much.

That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind.

The Tiffany glass is amazing.

Like 71 the Dali just because of his different way of “seeing” things.
