6. The Parable of the Prodigal Son (pages 12-13)
http://www.artchive.com/rembrandt/prodigal.html
Perhaps the most famous of all versions of the Prodigal Son
is Rembrandt's. Another more recent version can be found at http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/bible/prodigal.stm
. "Return of the Prodigal" by Frank Wesley (India, 20th
century). The color pink, according to Hindu tradition, signifies
eternity and eternal power. Wesley used pink to show the father
in the parable as God. At the left side, the pink blends into the
color of the son's clothing to show that God came into the world.
A beautifully simple version can be found at http://www.rshm.org/share2/
