The third in a special series of contemplative lunchtime seminars for Passiontide and Holy Week.
At each seminar, a different art historian and theologian focus on pictures from the National Gallery’s collection and explore themes of salvation, frailty, isolation, and sickness.
In this seminar, Dr Jennifer Sliwka and Professor Ben Quash of King's College London (KCL) and the Visual Commentary on Scripture project (theVCS.org) introduce Andrea Mantegna’s Agony in the Garden.
We hope you enjoy today's event. There is no charge, but please make a donation if you can. The Abbey receives no Church or State funding, and the drastic reduction in income cased by the covid pandemic puts our priceless heritage at risk.
