Rembrandt’s Return of the Prodigal Son

Yesterday I was invited to speak at Carey Baptist Church‘s Seniors’ Lunch.  I was pretty much given a free choice of topics, so I chose to talk about Rembrandt, and particularly his painting “The Return of the Prodigal Son.“

Here’s the mp3:

“Return of the Prodigal Son” by Rembrandt (c.1668)

This painting is blowing my mind.  I’m due to give a talk on Rembrandt, and this painting in particular, on Wednesday.  I’ll post it up here when I’ve done it, but for now just have a look.

And maybe read this.
