Illustration from "La Sainte Bible : Ancien Testament . . . / Compositions par J.-James Tissot"; with preface by Antonin Gilbert Sertillanges (1863-1948), introduction by Maurice de Brunoff (1861-1937) and the translation into French of Isaac-Louis Lemaistre de Saci (1613-1684). 2 volumes. Paris: M. de Brunoff & Cie, 1904. The illustrations were originated by James Tissot (1836-1902) who sketched as he read Scripture.
The edition, of which 561 copies were printed, contains 360 mounted colour, black-and-white and duo-tone illustrations in the text and 40 plates in three states: sepia-tone, partly hand-coloured, and finished coloured state. The plates are protected with captioned tissue-guards. The paper size is 15.75 x 13 ins; image size varies (circa 8.5 x 5.5 ins).
The paintings for all 400 Illustrations were based exclusively on the complete sketches (the inspiration being entirely Tissot's). The first 200 illustrations covering the Book of Genesis through to the story of Jephthah's daughter in the Book of Judges were painted by Tissot. The last remaining 200 illustrations were painted after Tissot's death in 1902 by Henri Bellery-Desfontaines, Auguste François Gorguet, Charles Hoffbauer, Louis van Parys, Michel Simonidy and Georges Bertin Scott.

Le Roi David jouant de la harpe (King David Playing the Harp), painted around 1619 by Italian painter Domenico Zampieri, known as Le Dominiquin or Domenichino, is displayed in the Salon de Mercure of the Grands Appartements. This oil on canvas shows King David, one of the great Biblical figures, playing the harp and dictating the Psalms to an angel under divine inspiration. Collected by Cardinal Mazarin before 1653, it was acquired by Louis XIV in 1665 and held a place of significance in his apartments, reflecting the king's own musical passions and religious inclinations. The composition is noted for its balance of vertical and horizontal lines, the subtle curve of David's body echoing that of the harp, and the expressive depiction of divine inspiration and repentance on David's face. The painting was part of numerous royal and museum placements before returning to Versailles in 1895, where it now resides.
The Château de Versailles (Versailles Palace), located southwest of Paris, was transformed from a royal hunting lodge into a monumental palace under Louis XIV beginning in 1661, becoming the political and ceremonial center of the French monarchy until the Revolution in 1789. Designed by architects Louis Le Vau, Jules Hardouin-Mansart, and decorator Charles Le Brun, the palace features the iconic Hall of Mirrors, royal apartments, and a vast Cour d’Honneur. Beyond the main château lie the formal Gardens of Versailles, laid out by André Le Nôtre, with geometric parterres, fountains, groves, and the Grand Canal. The wider estate includes the Domaine de Trianon, comprising the Grand Trianon (a neoclassical retreat built for Louis XIV), the Petit Trianon (used by Louis XV and Marie-Antoinette), and the Hameau de la Reine, a rustic model village created for the queen. After the Revolution, Versailles ceased to function as a royal residence and was repurposed over time into a museum of French history by Louis-Philippe in the 1830s, a role it continues to serve today.

My Flickr Friend Silvia says she didn't understand what i wrote. I told her no one who speaks English understood it either. Sorry about that...;)))
My rod and my staff, they comfort me...
That is changing the words of King David's Psalm "Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." Actually, I am only holding a staff.
My portrait was taken by my friend, Larry Mayer, a few days ago outside our Synagogue. Larry's not on Flickr. The title is a takeoff on the best selling book of a year ago called "Eats Shoots and Leaves' which has a second possible meaning. "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" The second version involves a revolver, or a basketball and a hoop.
Larry used his iPhone4 with its very nice and easy to use High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode with a built in HDR application. Apple does it again!
I am so tempted to upgrade my iPhone. However, being realistic, my youngest son Raf needs a newer computer during this final year in Law School... Thus, my personal purchases are postponed!

The bible tells us the United Monarchy (aka Kingdom of Israel) was the Israelite kingdom of Israel and Judah during the reigns of kings Saul, David, and Solomon. Historians have long argued that the kingdom described in the Bible never existed because little hard evidence supports the Bible’s account of the United Monarchy. Today however, surprising new evidence has emerged linking the Tel Eton site to King David’s kingdom.

Girolamo Macchietti (1535-1592), particolare dei pannelli della pala del SS Sacramento.
Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo
The stained glass window in the nave depicts four figures from the Old Testament known for their musical abilities. From left to right they are: Miriam, the sister of Moses, who led the Israelites into song after the crossing of the Red Sea; King David, known for playing the harp and composing psalms: Asaph, a musician who also composed a dozen psalms; and Deborah, a prophetess from the Book of Judges who was the author of the Song of Deborah. The window was created in the 19th century by the British firm of Powell and Sons.
