Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh
An Allegory of the Dinteville Family

Master of the Dinteville Allegory Netherlandish/French, 1537 On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 612, In this portrait, the five aristocratic Dinteville brothers act out a scene from the Hebrew Bible to represent an episode from their own family history. In 1538 Gaucher de Dinteville, the bearded man in blue at the rear of the group on the right, was accused of attempted sodomy. As a result, he and his brothers lost their court offices and spent several years in exile before returning to royal favor. Here, two of them—identified by the inscriptions on the hems of their robes—appear in the guises of Aaron and Moses, pleading with the Egyptian pharaoh.

The Fourth Sunday of Lent

"Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, 
so must the Son of Man be lifted up,  so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” John 3 If we are not fulfilled in this life, maybe it means we are made for another like. God loves us in while in our sins. Can we respond and begin the journey home? This week on OVC.
