: JERRY C Tue Mar 18, 2008 - 14:08:56
just a note to share a "Happy Easter" greeting, and some artwork.
maybe you too have some artwork you'd like to post?

anyway, after His Resurrection, ours is promised!

The Resurrection,of Christ, 1612
Rubens

Yes, beautiful.   And I especially like that it doesn't portray Jesus as a wimp.

Thanks,
Peggy

Very nice image. It fascinates me how people can paint that good! Thanks for posting it! Do you know who painted it? What is it called?

God bless,

I seriously doubt that a) the very Son of God, Who was b) just then resurrected, walking out alive from a tomb where He had been dead, would look wimpy at all!  So the artist did very well with that, painting Him as a Man in the rosy glow of perfect health, walking triumphant out of that hole.

Scared the bystanders, too.  I figure that's true.

If I can find out who painted it I will post it.  Maybe the OP knows.

"who painted ...?" is in the original post.

The Resurrection,of Christ, 1612
Rubens

name-date-painter.

but, it is amazing, the detail!
look to the left of Jesus and see the angelic faces?!
the astonishment, the wheat stalk?, the crimson banner, the "ruddy" complexion...
