Continuing on where I left off yesterday. The Departure Of Abraham For Canaan is by Jacopo Bassano and his workshop, dating around 1570.
A remarkable bust by one of the greatest sculptors of all time. Bernini carved Maffeo Barberini, Pope Urban VIII around 1632.
Next to it is another dramatic painting. Bartolome Esteban Murillo painted Abraham And The Three Angels, circa 1670-74.
And beside that, another bust. Pierre Puget created Bust Of A King, circa 1663-68
A look across the space from here, with paintings and the bust of a nobleman. The paintings have as their subject Lot and his daughters, the crucifixion of St. Andrew, and the arrest of Christ.
A deeply affecting canvas. The Return Of The Prodigal Son is by Salvator Rosa, dating circa 1655-65, depicting the New Testament parable.
For today I finish with this. Eve Tempting Adam dates to some point between 1655-98, by the artist Johann Carl Loth.
Very fine art.
ReplyDeleteGreat art, so life-like, like a pic.
ReplyDeleteLove the classic art!
ReplyDeleteI must say a great header here. I like it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was fun to be Adam!
ReplyDelete...there's a lot going on in "The Departure Of Abraham For Canaan!"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful exhibit, I like the sculptures. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteMisogynism at its finest as it was all Eve’s fault in the final photo.
ReplyDeletePope Urban VIII looks just like someone I know.
ReplyDelete'Bust of a King' and the last painting of Eve tempting Adam are my favourites today!
ReplyDelete@Italiafinlandia: indeed.
ReplyDelete@Iris: definitely.
@Roentare: me too.
@SC: thank you.
@David: no doubt!
@Tom: there is.
ReplyDelete@Eileen: me too.
@Anvilcloud: misogyny runs deep.
@RedPat: that isn't surprising.
@Magiceye: thank you.
I do not believe that Eve tempted anyone.
ReplyDeleteGenesis should be taken as metaphor. Along with a lot of the Bible.
DeleteRosa's painting was featured on a documentary. I forget the title. The realism of the son's dirty feet seemed to fascinate the narrator.
ReplyDeleteThat does not surprise me.
DeleteHow did the sculptor do the shirt on that Bust of a King? Incredible!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what artists can do with marble.
DeleteI agree with Sharon about Eve.
ReplyDeleteme too.
DeleteExcellent, especially the sculpture.
ReplyDeleteI think so.
DeleteYou're right -- the Prodigal Son is indeed affecting.
ReplyDeleteVery much so.
DeleteDivine artwork ~
