The Grand Dames: Women of the Bible in Art II
The second slide presentation continues the foray into the lives of the biblical females as seen through the eyes of the artists who immortalize them. The lecturer adds anecdotes and thumbnail sketches that bring the characters to life.
View powerful art works of Sarah, the Mother of Nations, Hagar, the Concubine of Abraham, Dina, the Violated Daughter of Leah, Rebekah, the Courageous Mother of Twins, Ruth, the Loveable Loyal Daughter-in-law of Naomi, the resolute, unshrinking Jael, Susanna, a graceful victim defended by Daniel, Mary of Magdala, the first witness at the tomb…
The women are independent, beautiful and distinguished. The women are wives, daughters, mothers, queens, concubines, deacons, double-agents, warriors, creators and destroyers. The art is lush and richly intense – at times disturbing. The Biblical Grand Dames are dramatic and unforgettable.
