that is really beautiful art work. i love the way the masters painted. too bad you don't see that any more:(
people these days call 2 stripes on an orange background a piece of artwork. i call it junk.
Well said, Marilena! I have often thought of doing a side by side comparison post of religious art with modern (so-called) art. Or, as you better label it, junk. :))))
if you go to my list of blogs and you look at your link, it says "take up your cross" as a post you made, but i don't see that post?
It's the post below this one. You have to scroll down a ways to see it, cuz I posted so many pics of the Blessed Virgin here!
Thank you for posting these.
Wonderful! The third one and the fourth from last are my favourites. You're right, good art is a form of prayer, right up there with sacred music.
Shirley, I like those ones too, but the second and the fourth are also very beautiful in their detail. It helps to click on them to enlarge them to see what I mean.
These are all so beautiful- thanks for taking the time to post them!
:)
