Motivation has been low this week – always is when the family is away. So for your better edification here is an article on a fascinating painting. I strongly recommend opening up the image itself in a separate tab or browser window so you can refer back to it as you read the article (not the best article on the painting I’m sure, but it was an interesting enough start for me).
I’m a very poor student of art, knowing next to nothing about it other than a few big names and a sense of what I do and don’t personally like. Dali’s Christian art has been a source of fascination to me, though, considering how unconventional it is.
What are some of your favorite artists and individual works, Christian or otherwise? Maybe that would be an interesting thing to do here on a regular basis – explore how Christianity has inspired art. Hmmm.
