» biogardener - Looking for art
I have tried to email you, but I cannot find your email address anywhere. The Argos search engine which is one of your links has not helped me to find what I am looking for, and that is art depiciting the story of Jesus blessing the children. Can you help me find some sites which might be helpful?-- posted by biogardener
» Basil - Jesus blessing Children
I know there are some contemporary images related to the story of Jesus blessing the children - I'll try to track down some URLs for you. You may also investigate your local Catholic bookstore (or even some general Christian bookstores). Still, none of this would be medieval, if that is what you are looking for.As far as medieval images go, I'll have to do a little more searching for that. May be something in a Bible or Breviary from the Gothic era, as that would be when the more sentimental images start really coming to the fore - esp. as "prayer of the heart" gains ground in middle class spirituality after the 12th - 13th century.
