A meditation through art will be facilitated by Marc Woodhead, from the National Gallery (London). The two paintings explored will be

The Umbrian Diptych, The Virgin and Child and The Man of Sorrows
The National Gallery, London

and

Piero della Francesca’s The Crucifixion
The Frick Collection, New York

Mark Woodhead writes,

The two panels of the Umbrian Diptych were bought separately by The National Gallery, London, and reunited in 2003. They belong together as a folding private devotional work! We’ll explore the ideas depicted in these two companion paintings. Firstly, an image of the Mother and Child, the Virgin as Mother of God, showing The Way by pointing to her Divine Child, and the image of Christ as Man of Sorrows. We’ll consider connections between them, and to a painting in The Frick Collection, New York; The Crucifixion by Piero della Francesca.
