Fine Art Friday on Sunday?

| | Comments (2)

Since today is Sunday, I thought that Fine Art Friday (a few days late!) should have a religious subject instead of a secular one. So today I'm featuring the paintings of the prophets by James Tissot. You can read a little bit about the artist here, in his Wikipedia entry. But you don't have to. You can just let the images speak for themselves.

When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Ezekiel 18:27

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings. Malachi 4:2

Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! Jeremiah 15:10

These are lovely! Thank you for posting these; I can't wait to show them to friends. We are always looking for different religious art than your standards that are everywhere.

And Nicole, if you like, you can buy them from art.com

I'm glad you liked 'em!
