The Passion and Resurrection of Christ


Duccio: City Art Gallery Manchester

  
 This sequence of events has obsessed artists since the early days of Christianity.  I am looking at the art, of course, but also at the often conflicting narratives found in the gospels and the extrapolations, interpretations and embroidery that have accumulated over the years, and how these things are reflected in art.
