As we approach Christmas, our thoughts invariably turn to Jesus Christ. Here is a selection of paintings from the Louvre in Paris which might make our Yuletide spirits soar!
Virgin and Child with St. John the Baptist
The Virgin and Child with St. Anne
John the Baptist
Christ on the Cross
One truly marvels at the passion of the artists who would have toiled hard to create these exquisite works of art. One also feels grateful to the persons who have caused these to be preserved for the sake of posterity.
Merry Christmas!

Inspirations from religion are so very well visible and it uplifts the spiritual mind, brilliant pieces of art that are an outcome of the artist’s perception and imagery !
