Opis

A "lost" artist, Georges de La Tour, and a "misrepresented" woman, Mary Magdalene, form the core of "Transcending Time." He was so well-known and sought-after during his lifetime, he did not even consider signing his name or adding dates to his paintings. Respected during her lifetime, writers of the New Testament sometimes referred to her as simply "The Magdalene." Time took its tragic toll on both their lives. History forgot about the man and believed only lies about the woman until the 20th Century."Transcending Time" presents Georges de La Tour and what he might have been like as an artist and a family man. It addresses the lies, the rumors, the truths, and the triumphs of Mary Magdalene. The book includes selected full-color examples of the artist's other works. And, it cites scripture to support who the woman was and is. After reading this book, readers will understand why the only appropriate title had to be "Transcending Time..". because that is exactly the message of the woman and the artist.
