I start today with this rather gloomy painting, The Crucifixion, circa 1550, and attributed to Jean Penicaud II.
Blessing Christ is by a follower of Bellini, circa 1500.
A look down from here into the garden courtyard.
Scenes From Ovid's Metamorphoses is by Antonio Di Donnino Mazzieri, and dates to around 1525.
This circa 1560 work by an unknown Flemish painter is Portrait Of A Lady.
Here we have The Magdalen, circa 1520, from the circle of Jorg Lederer.
..."Portrait Of A Lady," how times have changed.

DeleteIt's difficult to paint Jesus, nobody knows how he looked like, certainly not like in the paintings !
ReplyDeleteHe did not look like a young Kenny Rogers.

ReplyDeleteI can see that.
DeleteThe courtyard is nice and the art is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat it is.
DeleteSo much harm has been done in the name of Christ.
ReplyDeleteAnd he'd be horrified by it.
