In Similitude by Joseph Brickey

In Similitude by Joseph BrickeyAbout this Image: And Adam and Eve, his wife, called upon the name of the Lord And after many days an angel of the Lord appeared unto Adam, saying: Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord? And Adam said unto him: I know not, save the Lord commanded me. And then the angel spake, saying: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father, which is full of grace and truth. Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in

and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth

affable mingled with a look of interest and an unconscious smile

the things which belong unto thy peace

wisemen bringing gifts and Mary holding Jesus

and that we can become clean through Jesus Christ

and the good ground bearing forth healthy wheat

and it giveth light unto all that are in the house

There is a mixture of amazement and gratitude as Martha holds Lazarus

I wanted to depict the Savior’s image when he spoke of the necessity of discerning truth

So the palm leaf here can also serve as a reminder that he who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven must humble himself as [a] little child

this painting further represents any mother’s pure love toward her child
