It is a truly wonderful book-- and was very expensive I might add! The exhibition was held last year at the National Gallery of all these absolutely stunning religious statues collected from monasteries and convents in Spain ( ON LOAN THAT IS) I am going to upload some of the pictures of the statues today--they are so realistic ,moving and beautiful . If I had known about the exhibition in time I would certainly have gone to London but the book is the next best thing. The images are so life like, much more so than any painting however good the paining is.<br /><br />Barbara<br /><br />I will put a link up when I have uploaded them if my computer will co-operate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276480891318347779.post-12320774748033448742011-07-05T14:31:14.140-07:002011-07-05T14:31:14.140-07:00I also like Durer's image but would Jesus have...I also like Durer's image but would Jesus have had yellow hair and blue eyes. I believe King David had red hair, and didn't Absolom have "two hundred shekels weight" of hair that caught on a tree? There is of course, the famous story of Samson whose strength was in hair!<br /><br />barbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276480891318347779.post-82577487256985677012011-07-05T06:03:22.997-07:002011-07-05T06:03:22.997-07:00Our Lord in his humanity was surely very ordinary ...Our Lord in his humanity was surely very ordinary physically like the rest of us and as prophecied? <br /><br />Douay-Rheims Bible Isaiah 53:2<br /><br />"And he shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there is no beauty in him, nor comeliness..."Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276480891318347779.post-10727608445669524702011-07-04T14:33:08.337-07:002011-07-04T14:33:08.337-07:00For me it's Durer's self portrait at 28 th...For me it's Durer's self portrait at 28 that moves me as a Christ-like face, which the artist probably intended.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276480891318347779.post-33446538356554707842011-07-04T14:31:06.564-07:002011-07-04T14:31:06.564-07:00That is a stunning icon Father, something about th...That is a stunning icon Father, something about the eyes....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
