RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

THE ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB | Sunday Comments Only
The Bible verse John 19:27, "Behold your mother!" has inspired the most Christian art throughout history. "Madonna and Child" by Fra Filippo Lippi is one of those works now on view in Washington, DC. in the new exhibition "Picturing Mary: Woman, Mother, Idea." This exhibit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts is part of the museums ongoing examination of humanist themes related to women. The Christmas season timing makes "Madonna and Child" (above) my NEWS OF WEEK.

Not only artists are inspired by Bible verses but also collectors. Our own collecting focus is also inspired by John 19:27. Finding a verse such as "Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home." ~ Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE), to focus your collecting habit will give you spiritual insights that other approaches based on a visual syle simply cannot offer.
