Thoughts From Allan 3rd Sunday of Advent.

Provenance:

Proving with evidence that the Author, Sculpture or Artist of created things.

I don’t know if you have seen the BBC series that examines the “Provenance” and attribution of ownership to disputed artworks.

Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould along with specialist research being carried out by Brender Grosvenor carry out Forensic analysis and archive searches are carried out by various Fine Art specialist. Documenting paintings and records related to one particular artist, looking at the materials used to see that they are time appropriate, Colours and methods used, looking for unique styles and quirks of the artist. To confirm that each new work found is the produce of its creator.

PROVENANCE

The place of origin or earliest history of something’

· The beginning of somethings existence or somethings origin.

· A record of ownership of a work or antique used as a guide to is quality.

· So, God created human beings in his own image, In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 NLT

· You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous - how well I know it. Psalm 139: 13,14 NLT

Like the restorers of delicate artwork, so the creator seeks to restore those works that have been damaged or covered with the grime of the world back to their original state.

Yes?
