Paintings Of The Faith

 Today we begin with The Dead Christ On The Cross, by Philippe de Champaigne, dating to around 1655-60.


Mary Magdalen, circa 1520-25, is by Domenico Puligo.


Here we have The Virgin And Child With An Angel, circa 1535-39, by Francesco Salviati


Portrait Of An Elderly Man is by Jacopo Tintoretto, circa 1565-75.


The Annunciation Of The Virgin's Death is by Paulus Bor, dating to around 1635-40.


This painting is Landscape With Two Watermills, circa 1670, by Meindert Hobbema. I still remember a conversation with a docent about this one several years ago- the painting looks empty of activity at first glance, but when you start really looking, there are people all over the place.

    so far I have never seen a human with wings, but it's true, I am not an angel ! I don't like this kind of painting, it's always the same.

    You won't be surprised if I say that I especially like 'Landscape with two watermills', I think.

    I'm not big on crucifixion art -- I find it depressing. But I do love that landscape. Interesting about the little people in it.

    Religion must have been very important in those days in Europe.

    A lot of character shines through in that elderly man's eyes.
