From the manger to the empty tomb: Contemplating the life of Jesus on canvas

suject From the manger to the empty tomb: Contemplating the life of Jesus on canvas
content This course focuses on the Gospel account of Christ's life, exploring His key events from His birth to His glorious ascension. It examines His interactions with various groups, including His family, disciples, women, soldiers, and even adversaries, to understand Christ's character and the Father's will. Throughout history, the Church has carefully taught the meaning of Jesus's life, and these essential teachings have often been depicted and captured on canvas within the Church's artistic tradition. This course introduces the Church's interpretation of Jesus's life and its theological significance, supplementing the text with works by past artists who offer visual interpretations of the scriptures, thus addressing details that might be overlooked in written text. Furthermore, the course provides an overview of symbols and symbolism in Christian paintings, helping participants develop visual literacy and sparking an interest in the Church's cultural heritage.
