I'm learning stuff! I'm no good at religion so I've learned one thing and I didn't know the painter so that makes two. :-)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to learning something new everyday. This artist is great. This painting is in a museum in France but I don't remember which one. The Scene is highly important because Christ chose a female disciple to be the first person to see him alive after his crucifixion!
