#1 Hugues Merle, prominent French artist of the 19th c.His style is reminiscent of that of Bouguereau. Merle had a life-long interest in religious imagery. Today he is almost forgotten.
All of Tissot.
#40 splendid Fouquet.
All of the paintings, sculptures of the Pietà.
And thank you for the gorgeous stained glass windows.
Good Morning Dan, and hello to each of you.
What a display today! We see how the Holy Spirit inspires such talent and execution. Could never choose a favorite, while greatly enjoying the glass and sculpture too.
Thank You Dan.
So many great works in here but there is nothing anywhere in this realm like the Michelangelo. His gift from God was just…impossible in any other way. I am blessed to have been able to see a number of his works in person.
The words of the resurrected Jesus to Magdalene that you quote at the outset are deeply profound in their simplicity…”my Father and your Father…my God and your God.”
I love the little angels loving on Jesus in #47
Technically, angels are probably more like huge warrior types — but the little babies with wings have a sweetness and tenderness...
#57 is also striking
it is very simple compared to the other compositions
but Mary’s grief is unmistakable
and thanks again for keeping the gallery open so late for those of us who work long hours
