Biblical art
While I was gone, Tripp did a little tripping around the 'Net and came up with this wonderful site for Rembrandt's biblical paintings - and actually, lots of other artists' works. Love this one of the writing on the wall at Belschazzar's Feast.

Hey Barbara,
I loved seeing this post, especially with this picture because it's become a favorite of our family's. We're living in London for a year with my husband's job and we get to see this one at the National Gallery whenever we choose to go! Thanks for discussing the importance of exposing children to good art. My children are only 5, 4, and 2, but we've been to the Gallery several times. The size of the paintings and the popular imagery of the Passion and other Bible stories is inspiring for them and me. They enjoy recognizing a story from the Bible that they've heard many times. And as an art lover, my soul gets filled up in the process.
Cheers!
Joni
