Move along, nothing to see here... only a waterspout, sharks, flying fish & possible rescue schooner. #WinslowHomer was famously unwilling to comment on his paintings. He said this one was about its title, #TheGulfStream. Fab exhibition at @NationalGallery https://t.co/j0u5myPlL9

In 1854 Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt began to paint 2 versions of #TheScapegoat (Leviticus 16:20ff) on the shores of the Dead Sea. Finishing them in London in 1855, he exhibited this one @royalacademy in 1856 to mixed reviews. @bibleproject https://t.co/ODmZ74ii29

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν,
θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας,
καὶ τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι,
ζωὴν χαρισάμενος!
Christ is risen from the dead
Having trampled death with death,
While to those in tombs
Happily giving Life!
