About Famous Biblical Paintings
Leonardo da Vinci painted "The Last Supper" (1495 to 1498) on a refectory wall in Milan, capturing the moment Christ says one of the apostles will betray him. About ten years later Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Rome, where "The Creation of Adam" shows God reaching out to give life to the first man.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted "The Tower of Babel" (1563, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) as a vast spiralling building site full of tiny workers. Caravaggio's "The Calling of Saint Matthew" (1599 to 1600, San Luigi dei Francesi, Rome) uses a single beam of light to show Christ choosing a tax collector. Rembrandt's late "The Return of the Prodigal Son" (Hermitage) is a quiet image of forgiveness, with a father embracing his kneeling son.
Wide works like "The Last Supper" suit a dining room at 100 to 120 cm, while a Caravaggio needs a strong, simple wall.
