About this event
For hundreds of years, the Bible has been the most-printed and best-selling book in the world. At the same time, it has served as a continual inspiration for visual art, from stories of creation and the ancient history of Israel to the life of Jesus and his teachings. The function of biblical art can vary, from being meant for public display to support communal worship to serving as illustration for the written text; other times, artists may create independent artworks, using the stories to express their own personal devotion or broader concerns. Drawing on artworks from across cultures and in a range of mediums—including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures—this exhibition considers how images drawn from the Bible invite us to see “the old, old story” anew.
