Jesus in the Getty
If you ever visit the Los Angeles area, I recommend a visit to the Getty Museum. A work of art in itself, the museum sits on a hillside providing wonderful views of the city and surrounding areas. The collection rivals or exceeds that of other major museums I’ve visited. I’ve been blessed to visit the Getty twice and would readily make a third visit.
Art aficionado, Fred Sanders, provides an overview (here at Scriptorium) of some of the religious art at the Getty depicting the life of Christ. Sanders points out that although the Getty is not recognized for its volume of Christian art, due to its nice collection of Western art, inevitably there are a number of images of Jesus. Sanders is informative in his assessment of several works of art. I have heard his lecture on how to look at art and found it very helpful, as well.
