Sacred Made Real
Tomorrow I am going to see “The Sacred Made Real”, a retrospective of the most realistic religious art to be produced in 17th century Spain, presented at the National Gallery.
It will be a remarkable chance to see masterpieces rarely seen outside of Spain, including work by Velázquez and Zurbaran as well as arrestingly real depictions such as Gregorio Fernandez 's "Dead Christ” only to quote one.
“Dead Christ”, Gregorio Fernandez, 1625-1630
