How can i find a Renaissance painting i once saw ?

How can i find a Renaissance painting i once saw ?

Is there an online search hub for Renaissance paintings anywhere ?

DESCRIPTION....
The painting is of a man, standing in a room, standing next to a table.

And there is a ram's fleece laying on the table.
[The table looks about 7 feet [2m] in diameter.]

[I have/had the impression that the painting, perhaps, portrays a man [Jason?] with the Golden Fleece? But i may be mistaken about that.]

Where did you see it?

I have quite a vivid memory of seeing that painting [or a copy], on a wall, in a house, around 1959.
[i won't state where precisely]

Hmmm. I do not know that it was 'renaissance'. I'm not readily familiar with the names of all of the painting styles.

But i thought that it did look like what i would associate, as being a 'renaissance' type style.

Thanks Frank.

'man, fleece large table' yeah, OK. [wink]

Wow. I have, on some fortunate occasions walked through many wonderful art galleries [in Europe] as a tourist, many years ago now.

It all 'knocked my socks off', so to speak.

It was so, so, pleasurable, just leisurely walking around those places, and seeing all of those beautiful 'pieces' of art.

I remember seeing the statue of David in Florence.

Wonderful times, never to come again, i would guess.

It was an fortuitous opportunity [that trip through Europe], and i took hold of it, and i'm very glad that i did !

Well, if you saw it in europe it would be useful to know where you saw it.

I know what you mean about those galleries. I saw an 18th century French portrait of my wife in the Louvre 10 years before I met her. I knew that the face I was looking at would be significant in some way in my life without knowing how. The penny dropped when I saw another portrait of the same 18th century woman in the National Gallery in London 11 years later.

Never too old for Jung.

The Birth of Venus sticks in my mind as a beautiful painting which i sighted in Europe.

Don't know if she looks like your young wife though. [wink]

No probs Yadda, just remember it's the same god that let Islam become the second largest religion on earth with 1/4 of the worlds people following it. He obviously has a morbid sense of humour.

More Cabanel. Not at all like Boticelli.

Setanta,

He created us, and then, He stands aside, and allows us all, to make our own choices in life.

Is it cruel, to let the innocent suffer ?

I can see how, and why, many would harshly judge God, and his ways.

I do not. .....i trust Him. .....the result, is the peace in my heart.

Proverbs 16:4
The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Then how the hell can you see him as also an interfering god? A personal god that intervenes on your behalf? I get it, he works in mysterious ways.
