Silvery moonlight falls on Jesus, kneeling in prayer on the Mount of Olives; the sleeping disciples are only faintly discernible in the night: His fear of death has never been depicted more poignantly than in this painting by Jan Gossart, created around 1510. Join Karl Wegmann on a journey to discover the rather rare depictions of nocturnal mysteries.
Just art? What makes the Old Masters so captivating? What stories do they tell in their paintings across the centuries? How can we decipher their messages? Discuss details of the exhibited works as well as their historical contexts. Topics change weekly.
