Explore Bible Art at the National Gallery of London

Voici le point de départ

The National Gallery

• We’ll wind our way through the various galleries and see the familiar world of Jesus including scenes of his birth, miracles, death and resurrection. There are numerous paintings of the Israelites from Joseph to Moses to David.
• We'll also see depictions of legends attributed to various Biblical people, and discuss scenes from the apocryphal writings. The apocrypha are stories that are part of some Bibles but excluded from other Bibles.
• All paintings are “representational art”; that is, the subjects are clearly identifiable with minimal guessing as to who is being depicted.
• You’ll come face to face with great artwork that is hundreds of years old and you’ll understand your Bible like never before.
• As time permits and interest dictates, we can also view famous Greek myths, well-known historical events and works by familiar artists such as Van Gogh, Monet and Michelangelo.
• Please note that paintings move around the museum and are taken off display on a regular basis.
