The Prodigal Son:
The original is just about 8 1/2 feet tall and 6 1/2 feet wide. It's big. It has to be big to see the detail of expression. to see the servant in the background, the detail of the older brother standing to the right. Luke 15 is beauty. the painting helps me understanding God.
Henri Nouwen wrote and entire book on his reflections of this Rembrandt.
Like great art, theology inspires awe and insists we must engage God.
Who/ where are you in the picture?
