Title: Biblical Sets
Post by: Phil Y on December 15, 2020, 02:27:01 PM
Following on from the article "The Discovery of Moses" featured in the Winter journal.  I would be interested in purchasing the following Biblical themed sets:-
1) David and Bathseba
2) Salomoe's Dance
3)Caesar & Cleopatra
4)Samson & Delilah.

Anyone any suggestions who might stock these items or Club member who has a set.

Many thanks
Phil Young

There is a Caesar and Cleopatra set from the Neckel catalog which was beautifully painted in Mike Taylor’s book on painting flats which I suspect you are referring to.

Louis also has a lovely example by Jan Sennebo

P.S.  Good choices and that was a wonderful article was it not?
P.P.S.  Bistulfi’s amazing site has a Bible tab in the galleries section with most of these and more as well.

The Neckel set for Caesar & Cleopatra is different than the one Hannibal notes - just a matter of taste. 


Also as I recall Mr Eric Talmant also has a number of the Biblical sets in one of his galleries as well.
