Tighten up how you think, don’t let your thoughts become drunk and all over the place. Stay focused on what is good and hope to the end for God’s Grace brought to you by Jesus being revealed to your mind.
1Peter 1:13 (Sandy’s understanding.)
Money from the steel industry and 147 banks.
Today we enjoyed free rides on the spacious clean trams with Bess. (our dog).
We could have used busses and trains as well. There is a relaxed clean feel about the city with the same name as the country.
It was neither busy nor ignored. A place to be pleased with.
This makes the city feel part of nature.
Then there is Luxembourg’s modern free museum. What was special was how close you could come to the exhibits.
It is called “Christ carrying the cross”. Press on the picture and make it bigger. See if you can spot Him amongst the detail of all the activities of the people in the crowds.
If depth is what you like press on this next painting…
1829 by Gabrial – Germain Joncherie.
In the next vast painting I was able to come up close and take in just the detail of the small figures…
by
Adam Pynacker 1622-1673
The two people are named. Francesca de Rimin (1255 -1285) and Paolo Malatesta (1246- 1285). Yes, they both died in 1285 killed with a dagger. A man killed his wife and his brother for adultery. This story was told by Dante Alighieri in 1320 and became a popular subject with artists and writers. I didn’t expect that story.
Then there was an exhibition of some photographs taken by Edward Steichen 1879-1973. All gelatin and silver print.
I then went into this gallery…
It was here before but was added to, to show solidarity with the Ukraine. It was a painful exhibition. Red seemed to be the colour.
Maxim Kantor on Putin’s Russia
(Works 1992 – 2022)
press on the pictures to see more detail. I personally found it unpleasant.
Thank you for being with us for a while! We are just passing through this rain washed very clean city.
Sandy 🙂
This is a wonderful post! Love the museum and your photos are fantastic. Thank you for sharing Luxembourg with us.
My pleasure take our invitation to come along only Roy seems to know where our real destination will be.😜🤔
How fascinating Sandy I love your understanding of 1 Peter 1:13
Thank you Cornelia. Take care and have a good evening. Hugs.
I’m absolutely in love with the first photo with the dahlias. It’s stunning! All the artwork is interesting, but I was drawn to the statue and story by Tito Angelini. Fascinating.
Yes ! That story was certainly told in brief but it probably could take on a book. Why would a banker want to have it immortalised in his home? Strange!
That is strange!
