Among them are outstanding examples of Tintoretto, Titian, Veronese, Sebastiano del Piombo, Cranach, Gerard David, Murillo, Ribera, Rubens, and Van Dyck. The Collection is attractively and effectively displayed in a series of magnificent rooms, including two authentic wood-paneled Gothic chambers. In other rooms the wall coverings are of modern plastic materials selected both for color and for texture as a background for the paintings of the period hung in each room. Authentic furniture and statuary afford interesting sidelights on the other arts and the life and times contemporary with the paintings. The expertly planned lighting is the most modern and effective it is possible to provide, and the air-control equipment maintains both the temperature and the humidity at a constant level and removes all dust from the air. The gallery is open free throughout the year except on Mondays, Christmas Day and New Year's at the following hours: September through May: Tuesday through Saturday 11-5 Sunday 1-3:30 and 5-6:30 June through August: Tuesday through Sunday 2-4 THE BOB JONES UNIVERSITY COLLECTION OF SACRED ART [[image]] [[caption]]"Christ Crowned with Thorns" - Jusepe de Ribera[[/caption]] BOB JONES UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA
