Asian context.

| DIE LEIVE BIBEL |
Ulrich
Leive is actually one of the best painter of the Bible in Germany .A
very personal synthesis between the surrealist and naïve
style. He has
merry colors, he is communicating and popular.His spontaneity is never
vulgar, he is animated by the dignity of his painter's vocation in the
service of the truth and of the beauty. I thank him for allowing to
copy some works. |

PITTS THEOLOGY LIBRARY- DIGITAL IMAGE ARCHIVE
|
The
Kessler Collection is one of the most prominent collections of the
Pitts Theology Library. It consists of over 2,800 volumes that relate
to the Protestant Reformation in Germany down to 1570. Although its
focus is on Lutheran materials, it also includes works by other
Protestants and by Catholics, as they entered into conversation with
Luther and his followers.
The
database contains many images suitable for use as illustrations of
biblical texts as well as portraits of persons engaged in the religious
and political debates of the sixteenth century. Try searching for the
call number 1523 Bibl and sample the biblical illustrations, or look at
1549 Luth E:1-2 to see a hand colored portrait of Luther.

HELENE SERRE
mailto:helene.serre@wanadoo.fr
Epistle
to the Galatians(French)
|
Hélène
Serre lives between Lyon
and Marseille in a small "ardéchois"
village called Chomerac along the Rhone valley.Her ancestors gave her
very soon the love of drawing and painting .Although she is autodidact
she began with rigour to create within the frames of japanese masters .
Then she tried a sort of free expression of herself in forms and
colours to discover her own style . For her painting is not only
"descriptiv " it is a joy and a will to lead us to praise life and God
.In her 150 paintings inspired by the Apostle Paul writings (A unique
experience in the history of art on a CD to prepare exhibitions ) There
are two kinds of paintings . An "interlude painting", like a piece of
organ during a religious service, then a bible reading illuminated with
drawings where we feel the japanese influence.Added to this, she is an
activ president of her local presbyterian church... (Click left on The
Epistle of Paul to theGalatians )

| SYMBOLIC
PAINTING |
Gilles ALFERA is a
contemporary French painter, nurtured on Christian spirituality and
culture. With his work, i.e., paintings , etchings and artist books ,
he means to underline that traditionalsymbolism , as the language of
any sacred or religious art, can still be the key note to creative intuition
, while keeping away from pseudo-esoteric
allegories
inherent to the so-called "new age " |
| THE TEXT THIS WEEK |
(The best
base of liturgical and iconographic resources on Internet for the
anglophone Christians)
A true catholic site opened with the theological and liturgical
divergences and convergences. The bible is read there in a Community
way around the "text of the day". They are the texts of the roman
catholic tradition but also lutheran, episcopal, methodist . An opening
to research presbyterian and baptists . It is within this framework
that one will find a very complete "Art concordance " with many links .
Note: the access to the Museums is not always obvious! There are dead
links or redirections etc... But it has as well resources as his
happiness will be always found. |
| VATICAN Christus Rex |
A
conception of sacred art proper to the roman catholic church animates
this site..Not only is reference to the bible present but also roman
normativ interpretation. There is a great hope for this church . The
resources of the Vatican in the bible field are inexhaustible
(Particularly as far as the manuscripts are concerned) and that is what
makes the interest of this site and doubtless its forthcoming interest.
