It's called "Christ Leaving the Praetorium," by Gustav Dore, and is the only one of the twelve paintings featured that is in the BJU Museum and Gallery. I pulled this picture off of a royalty-free site on the internet, so it's a little darker than the real thing; Andrew was the man on the lower left of the top of the cross, where you see his back, and his shirt looks blue striped. The right third of the picture did not come up on the blog for some reason - maybe it's too big.
Several of the paintings were more common. They did a reproduction of The Last Supper, by Da Vinci, and also of The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, which I remember being stolen a number of years ago from a museum in Boston. I'm not sure that it's ever been returned.
Andrew is having some wonderful opportunities, being able to do these things. He's going to be in a Shakespearean play in early May.
We couldn't take pictures during the performance, but we had planned to take some afterwards of Andrew in his makeup--and forgot. If he gets some in the next few days I'll post them later.

Jason is in it this year, too! He's really enjoying it.
I can't remember the name of his painting, but it is a Latin title, I think, one of the first of the program, where Pilate is talking to the crowd with his hand stretched out toward Jesus. I tried to do a quick search for it but couldn't find it.
I sure would love to get a picture of his painting set up on stage, but I don't guess there is any way to do that.
We're going on Saturday.
I've always wanted to see this, but haven't been in Greenville at the right time for it. Your son must have lots of talent--from his mom, right? Beth
