Fabulous painting for Lent, Claire. I've only just discovered Daumier after the retrospective on his work at the RA. I love how he was so sparse with this paint strokes, and managed to convey so much with so little. Less was definitely more with him. Have a lovely weekend, Bonny
ReplyDeleteSuch a heavy painting! Jesus' time is drawing near. May we never forget and always rejoice in what He did for us.

Hahaha… I am such a slow-brained person! For weeks I have been wondering how you managed to find all these wonderful paintings, somehow relating to Lent. And only today I found out they are in the book 'God for us'…
ReplyDeleteI love Daumier.
