Prodigal

Another Dutch painting, here we have Salomon Van Ruysdael's work River Landscape, circa 1650. 


A couple of Rembrandt paintings are part of the permanent collection. This is Heroine From The Old Testament, dating to 1632-33.


Jan Weenix gives us another take on the New Testament parable in this 1668 painting, The Return Of The Prodigal Son. 


And for today I finish with this Italian work. Francesco Guardi painted The Church Of Santa Maria della Salute, Venice around 1780-85.

    I do like 'The River Landscape'. I think I like nature better than people----even in real life

    That first photo would be a great one for Skywatch Friday, William. If Van R wasn't already dead, I'd suggest it to him. :-)
