Easter in Art – Exhibition on Screen
Dir. Phil Grabsky, 85 mins.
The story of Christ’s death and resurrection has dominated western visual culture for the past 2,000 years. It is perhaps the most significant historical event of all time, as depicted by the greatest artists in history. From the triumphant to the savage, the ethereal to the tactile, some of western civilization’s greatest artworks focus on this pivotal moment. This beautifully crafted film explores the Easter story as depicted in art, from the time of the early Christians to the present day. The film explores the different ways artists have depicted the Easter story through the ages, and in doing so they capture a vital part of the history and culture of the past 2,000 years. Includes paintings by Caravaggio, Dalí, El Greco, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Rubens, Titian and more.
