Author Description

The exhibition is divided into four segments. One part visualises the way in which from about 1870 religious experience escaped from the strict frameworks of Christian belief - reinterpreting them, seeking alternatives and becoming increasingly individual. Another part shows the influence of new philosophies from about 1900, revealing how the iconography of the work was affected and changed. In addition to these two segments, two important general aspects of religious experience in art are considered: 'nature religion' and 'non-Western religious experience'.
