Sacred and Profane: Sacred Art at the National Gallery

  • Trafalgar Square London, England, WC2N 5DN United Kingdom (map)

Orazio Gentileschi’s The Finding of Moses

Rabbi Sybil Sheridan, director of the Lyons Learning Project, is joined by Revd Dr Ayla Lepine, the Howard and Roberta Ahmanson Fellow in Art and Religion at the National Gallery, to explore the NG’s collection of biblical paintings. Our theme will be ‘Crossing Borders’, inspired by Orazio Gentileschi’s The Finding of Moses and The Rest on the Flight into Egypt. We will also follow-up on Professor Griselda Pollock’s talk from the previous week, viewing paintings including Guido Reni’s depiction of Lot and His Daughters, and Artemisia Gentileschi’s self-portraits as Judith and Bathsheba.

This talk will be held in conjunction with our partners at Jewish Renaissance.

Tickets are £15 and can be purchased here.
