Faith in Art
This is one of my favorite pieces, though not much is known about it. It’s called, “Entry of Christ into Jerusalem,” and the Wiki entry says it’s from:
Museum for Byzantine Art (Inv. 1590; acquired 1889; from the collection of Sir Andrews), Bode Museum, Berlin.
The description says,
Entry of Christ into Jerusalem (central panel from a triptych), Constantinople, 10th century; ivory
Again, I’m continually amazed at God-given talents. God is a creative God, and, in fact, Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” So God is creative, and because we were made in his image, it’s not surprising that we have inherent creativity within us.
