A Slow look at Simone Martini's Orsini Polyptych (online)

  • The Church of the Holy Trinity 316 East 88th Street New York, NY, 10128 United States (map)

Join friends in London for this discussion led by Marc Woodhead, lecturer at the National Gallery, and the Rev. Graham Buckle, vicar of St. Stephens, Rochester Row. (Zoom link forthcoming).

Many of us in New York saw “Siena - The Rise of Painting 1300-1350” at the Metropolitan Museum. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Metropolitan and the National Gallery, London, where it is currently on view. Join us online as we take a close look at Simone Martini's Orsini Polyptych. We’ll join together with our friends across the pond for this meeting, as the exhibition reunites these small magical panels from various collections in Antwerp (KMSKA), Berlin (Gemaldegalerie) and Paris (Louvre). Looking ahead to the beginning of Holy Week, we’ll focus in on the stories of Christ’s Passion, marvel at and reflect together about our thoughts, feelings and responses to Simone Martini’s paintings.
