This painting depicting Christ on the cross was painted by Anthony Van Dyck in 1630. It decorated the main altar of the former Friar Minors’ church before the French revolution.

great shots Cherie, i really liked the realism in the artwork, so skillfully done.
The painting is a great work of art.
(I tried to leave a comment on the next post, got a 404 error page not found)
I remember this church, everything about it is fabulous, the pulpit with all the carved animals, the stained glass. A piece of art all together.
I love you pictures, thanks for the memory.
I have sorted out Noah now, thanks for letting me know it wasn’t working.
It is a wonderful Cathedral and I am glad you enjoyed the memory.
St Rumbold is so unusual.
I came across St Alkmund in Derby yesterday.
That’s too rather unusual.
Will we be seeing pictures?
