The story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus has been at the forefront of western art for 2,000 years - from early inscriptions in the catacombs, medieval altarpieces and Leonardo’s Last Supper, to the twentieth century works of artists such as Marc Chagall and Graham Sutherland. This talk examines the gospel narratives of the events of Holy Week and Easter and investigates how they have been interpreted by artists through the centuries.

About David Brindley

I am an experienced speaker and my audiences have included WEA, U3A, Swan Hellenic Cruise ships, Cathedrals and Churches and various Universities and Colleges. Using extensive illustration, I present in a lively inter-active style and encourage questions and debate. I have Masters degrees in Art History, Theology and Philosophy, and particularly enjoy connecting the three disciplines. But I'm not dry and academic - i use humour, anecdote and debate in my teaching methods. I am a regular tutor for WEA both online and in person, and teach a number of Art History courses and always recruit well, with lots of students who have done multiple courses with me. I can tailor presentations to many different lengths and contexts.
