Opulent Feast

Lot and his daughters by the Dutch Mannerist Painter Abraham Bloemaert (ca.1564-1651). It's surprising all that stuff they saved from burning Sodom.

Hard working Ruth

Ruth gleaning in a medieval illumination. That she's the most hard working is demonstrated because she alone is on her knees,

Cool Judith

Judith (c. 1630-35) by the Italian Baroque painter Massimo Stanzione (1586-1656). That's a really cool reduced painting nearly already Classicism.

Susanna and the Elders

Susanna and the Elders (1610) by the Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 – c.1653).

Beautiful Esther

Joan Collins as Esther in the Film Esther and the King (1960). It's sex and crime what's selling now from the old Bible stories.

Herodiade - a Sketch

Herodiade (1880-90) by the French academic painter Jean Jacques Henner (1829-1905). Actually Herodiade was the mother of Salome, but in art the two persons normally blend into one.

Eva Negra

The old snake-woman myth still proves useful selling movies. It's Eva and the snake, they are two sides of the same coin.
