i got an opportunity to check out the paintings of domenikos theotokopoulos (otherwise known as "el greco") at the metropolitan museum of art. its always quite a humbling experience to witness the works of the great geniuses of history in person. and going along with my ramblings the past couple days about yeshua, there were quite a few works on display with scenes featuring the christ. classic artist renditions/interpretations of biblical events offer an alternate visual that can be best deconstructed by barbara deconcini's fascinating essay on art and religion that i came across on the net.
