More from the Kimbell Museum– the Christian Holdings

There is not a good deal of Biblical or Christian art in this museum, indeed there is more Greco-Roman art objects and mythological paintings and we will look at both in this post.

The flight into Egypt painting 2 pictures above is mildly interesting this painting of Abraham taking Isaac up the mountain for the sacrifice is more telling.

Certainly more colorful, with gold leaf, is the raising of Lazarus painting.

A fresh take on John 4 is found in Barbieri’s painting of Jesus and the Samaritan woman….

Certainly the most dramatic of the Christian paintings is the Torment of St. Anthony by demons.

Here’s a nice portrait of St. Matthew

There is one Christian sculpture I could find in the museum a bust of Christ….

Here’s a somewhat atypical Madonna and child…

Here’s the supper at Emmaus when who Jesus is doesn’t dawn on Cleopas and company until the end.

The commissioning of the 12 comes in for treatment.
