Welcome back to Friar Art. Today, Holy Monday, Fr. Michael introduces James Tissot, a French illustrator and painter.
Tissot was first known as a genre painter of fashionably dressed women depicted in everyday life but in the 1880s had a religious awakening that changed his imagery forever.
Welcome back to Friar Art. Today, Good Friday, Fr. Michael examines Millet’s “The Angelus”.
He also explains Salvador Dali’s love-hate relationship with this particular work and how the combination of figures and palette have multiple representations.
Join Fr. Michael this Easter Sunday as he examines Jean Francois Millet’s “Bird Nesters” from 1874. This painting was inspired by Millet’s own childhood memories and depicts an ordinary activity in an extraordinary way.
Wishing all a Blessed Easter Sunday from the Franciscan Friars.
