James Janknegt, The Parable of the Rich Fool


James Janknegt, The Parable of the Rich Fool

My last post included a "slow-looking" exercise on this painting:

James B. Janknegt, Portrait of YOU as the Good Samaritan


If you are interested in seeing more of his work, I discussed Janknegt's painting on the Rich Fool parable at King's College, London's Visual Commentary on Scripture website. You can find it here.


I conclude the 300-word piece with this (note: the "this humble house" refers to the house on the right): 

What remains worthy of preservation is the community found in this humble house, which is also a reminder that ‘life does not consist in an abundance of possessions’ (12:15).

Here's a peek at the work of art (click on it to see it in isolation):
