Curator’s introduction Fruits of the Spirit: Art from the Heart

‘Fruits of the Spirit: Art from the Heart’ is a pioneering virtual exhibition from the Art and Religion research strand at the National Gallery. 
Highlighting paintings as diverse as van Eyck’s ‘Arnolfini Portrait’ and Monet’s ‘Water-Lilies’ from the permanent collection at Trafalgar Square alongside German Expressionist and contemporary art from a wide range of UK collections, ‘Fruits of the Spirit’ encourages dialogues through art which span different historical and geographical periods and cultural perspectives.
 
In this talk, curator of the exhibition, Rev Dr Ayla Lepine, introduces the virtual show.
