The Denver Art Museum III

The Denver Art Museum III December 28, 2018

There is a tiny bit of religious art in another room in the Denver Museum. For example, here is an allegory of the sacrament, connecting Jesus the vine, to his blood being the source of the sacrament…..

And right next to it is one iteration of the famous Peaceable Kingdom painting. What is notable about this one, if you look at the extreme left and background of the painting is that you see: 1) a boat, 2) William Penn and company landing near Philly, and 3) him negotiation for land with the Delaware Indians. Who knew all that was part of Isaiah’s vision of the lion lying down with the lamb!!

We can also add the Spanish painting of the adoration of the Magi….

And finally a couple of Noah’s ark paintings for good measure.
