The beauty of human creativity

Fellow citizens,

As we struggle to yet again make sense of the madness and sadness that has occurred in the human world recently, I thought you might appreciate reflecting on some of the beauty; the genius, of human creativity, and replenish your soul at this sacred time of Easter.

 


This exquisite piece: Eula Beale performing "Erbarme dich, mein Gott" (Lord, have mercy on me) from the St. Matthew Passion by J.S. Bach, with Yehudi Menuhin playing the violin solos.

And this remarkable artwork: The Resurrected Christ by Bramantino, 1490.







Prospera Pascha Sit (Happy Easter).
