What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Let’s hear it for Our Lady. (And for J Paul Getty)

    Let’s hear it for our Lady on this the Feast of the Assumption. Here’s a gorgous pic of her being crowned in heaven.

    Our Lady

    And, let’s hear it for the J Paul Getty museum which has just decided to make a very significant collection of images, including the one above, available under an Open Content Programme. That means that the images are available in high quality for you to do what you like with. They are free at the point of delivery, just like healthcare.

    The religious pics are fabulous and are crying out for use in blogs, courses, Lent and Holy Week programmes, Christmas Carol Service brochures and all kinds of things.

    The picture above is a Coronation of the Virgin from Willem Vrelant, a Flemish illuminator who produced it sometimes around the 1460s. More about it here.

    All hail Our Lady, Queen of Heaven.

    All hail J Paul Getty for sharing her with us today.

    Given the rain this morning, Gwyneth’s image of the ark was particularly apt.

    Thanks everyone, it was a lovely service and a really enjoyable occasion – Opal would have explored happily all day. Sorry about the dirty pawmarks on the prayer table though!

    Julie – surely all cats are Scottish Episcopalian? Dignified, mysterious, of looong heritage, and with wonderful music ( oh, wait a minute……)
