== Art ==

Of the thirty or so parables in the canonical Gospels, four were shown in medieval art almost to the exclusion of the others, but not mixed in with the narrative scenes of the ''[[Life of Christ]]''. These were: the [[Parable of the Ten Virgins|Ten Virgins]], the [[Rich man and Lazarus]], the [[Parable of the Prodigal Son|Prodigal Son]] and the [[Parable of the Good Samaritan|Good Samaritan]].<ref>Emile Mâle, The Gothic Image , Religious Art in France of the Thirteen Century, p 195, English trans of 3rd edn, 1913, Collins, London (and many other editions)</ref> Artists famous for depicting parables include Martin Schongauer, Pieter the Elder Bruegal and Albrecht Dürer. The [[Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard|Workers in the Vineyard]] also appears in [[Early Medieval]] works. From the Renaissance the numbers shown widened slightly, and the various scenes of the Prodigal Son became the clear favorite, with the [[Good Samaritan]] also popular. [[Albrecht Dürer]] made a famous [[engraving]] of the ''Prodigal Son'' amongst the pigs (1496), a popular subject in the [[Northern Renaissance]], and [[Rembrandt]] depicted the story several times, although at least one of his works, ''[[The Prodigal Son in the Tavern]]'', a portrait of himself as the Son, revelling with his wife, is like many artists' depictions, a way of dignifying a genre tavern scene. His late ''[[Return of the Prodigal Son]]'' ([[Hermitage Museum]], [[St Petersburg]]) is one of his most popular works.

 

 

Similarly, "My Hope Is Built" ([[Edward Mote]], c. 1834) is inspired by the [[parable of the Wise and the Foolish Builders]], and "How Kind the Good Samaritan" ([[John Newton]], c. 1779) is inspired by the [[parable of the Good Samaritan]].
