Bible Question (short): Text source for artisitc inspiration |
Question (full): College Paper Assistance Kindly Requested. Hello My Friends, I am writing a paper on the “Lamentation over the Dead Christ with the Saints” by Sandro Botticelli. It is a beautiful painting on wood. It is a later paiting when Botticelli had abandoned his mythical imagery. My question for the group is the source of the inspiration. I understand from research that it was the Book of Numbers was the text source. Does anyone know if there is a main source that was used for these text that I could study? Since the Book of Numbers were unique, each done by hand, I feel at a loss but feel there much be "official" source of text. Many thanks for any thoughts on this! John |
