Sunday evening the congregation at
First Baptist Church in Lincoln unveiled the restoration of a
painting given to the church in 1910 by Samuel Hoblit. The
painting is a reproduction of a masterpiece by Gerrit Van
Honthorst which hangs in the Galleria Degli Uffize in Florence,
Italy.
After decades of hanging in the church, a
professional restoration was done to bring back the original colors
of the painting. After the ceremony, the congregation gathered for a
Thanksgiving meal.
