Western art developed in conjunction with the pictorial needs of the Christian Church. At the heart of the Christian faith is the Crucifixion and the so-called Passion, the deeds and days leading to it.
This exhibition brings together drawings from the Renaissance and the Baroque from the Gallery’s collection and explores how artists depicted the complex themes of love, betrayal and pain found in these stories. Drawings include: Federico Zuccaro’s The Last Supper, Ludovico Carracci’s Christ shown to the People, Toussaint Dubreuil’s The carrying of the Cross, Jacopo Pontormo’s Lamentation and many more.
Tickets are available here.
