The Avon Theatre presents a special screening of Exhibition On Screen’s
EASTER IN ART
Saturday, March 27 at 1:00 p.m.
This screening is funded in part by the Stamford Arts & Culture Community Arts Partnership Program
ABOUT THE FILM
The story of Christ’s death and resurrection has dominated western culture for the past 2000 years. It is one of the most significant historical events of all time, as recounted by the gospels but, equally, as depicted by the greatest artists in history. From the triumphant to the savage, the ethereal to the tactile, some of western civilization’s greatest artworks focus on this pivotal moment. This beautifully crafted film explores the Easter story as depicted in art, from the time of the early Christians to the present day.
Shot on location in Jerusalem, the United States, and throughout Europe, the film explores the different ways artists - including Caravaggio, Raphael, Leonardo, El Greco, Bosch, Rembrandt, Munch, Michelangelo, and more - have depicted the Easter story through the ages. Whether you are religious or not, this extraordinary film narrates a story that reveals much about the history of civilization.
