Picture Study Resources

I have been working on Children's Church for this next school year, which means I have been up to my eyeballs in art study searches. It's hard to narrow down good art that lines up with a Bible story, especially the Old Testament! Anyways, I thought I would just quickly post a few resources that I am using to search for worthy pictures, in case you need some help with planning for your Sunday School or Children's Church.

**I do want to mention, though, that I have included our Bible lesson selections and picture study titles under my Charlotte Mason {in Church} series - I've already done the work for you! **

You can try to get your hands on these books, which have collected some great artwork from the Bible:

The Bible in Art : New Testament by Richard Muhlberger

The Bible in Art : Old Testament by Richard Muhlberger

Rembrandt's, Life of Christ

Rembrandt, The Old Testament

The Glorious Impossible (Giotto) by Madeleine L'Engle

The Dore Bible Illustrations

The Illustrated Bible Story By Story by DK 

Here are some websites that I use for my searching:

Biblical Art on the WWW

Art and the Bible

The Text This Week 

Web Gallery of Art

Ambleside Online's Art selections

A Humble Place's Seasonal Art Devotions

And some easily accessible artists you may want to keep your eye out for are:

William Brassey Hole

Carl Bloch

James Tissot

Gustave Dore

Gebhard Fugel 

I hope this helps, even a little! It can be overwhelming trying to search. Please feel free to add your favorite Bible illustrator in the comments (it helps us all if they are in the public domain!)
