Art Tuesdays - Contemplating the Christ (Week 1)

This first session, led by the Revd Howard Barker, is entitled Contemplating the Christ: the cell frescoes of Fra Angelico. We will look at the skill of Fra Angelico, who produced this unique collection of paintings, consider the pattern of Dominican prayer which undergirded it all, and see how the paintings may have something to say about Signs of Glory and contemporary views of prayer and spiritual life. Howard Barker spent 20 years teaching History and History of Art, and 40 years serving as a priest in this diocese.
