Paintings
Visual Art Gallery
Over several centuries, masterful illustrations of God's hand at work have been painted by artists around the world and now been digitized throughout the internet. BWXP provides this unique gallery, formatted to the historical biblical witness attested in the life of Jesus Christ, specifically in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. Along with such works are Old Testament, Apocryphal and thematically-related selections. This gallery is an accumulation of pieces to which "Father" Jon Roberts has obtained from open domain resources. He provides, in some occasions specific teachings on this artwork along with detail of the artist, dates, and location of the originals. The gallery is ordered in the life of Christ, chronologically from birth, to teachings, to death and resurrection. Please enjoy and feel free to correspond with us by email to blackwhitexp@gmail.com.
