Redux: The Resurrection: Four Artists

I went back to find which Easter I had first had the thought to post some artists renditions of the Resurrection. Turns out it was April 12th, 2009. I’ve reposted the whole thing below. And below it all is a picture I came across from a posting in 2010, taken by Lauren, the daughter of our friends Mike and Karen.

What happens when an untalented barbarian like myself, is married to an artistic, creative,and talented person?

I post stuff like this for Easter:

Starting with Fra Angelica, around 1443. Oh, and it’s now Blessed Fra Angelica

 

El Greco, 1577. One of my favorite painters, but what’s with the Greek columns? Not one of his best –

 

Now, skipping a few centuries (past Rubens, YUK, etc) to some contemporary renderings

Arcabas (Jean Marie Pirot), 1998. Life not death, and a large painting. Compare the size with the altar and furniture.  Go here to learn about him:ARCABAS – Contemporary religious art museum

 

And the Chinese Christian painter He Qi  – Go here  – Art Works of He Qi .::About Artist::.

I love this. No banner; instead a lily. And check out the women.

 

Here is Lauren’s photo. Love it.
