Il Dio Nascosto

60 canvasses make up this special Holy Year exhibition of religious art in 17th-century France. Although associated with the secular splendours of the Sun King, the art of the time was also characterised by pictorial attempts to represent the Divine. ‘Il Dio Nascosto’ (The Hidden God) boasts masterpieces by Georges de La Tour (‘Mary Magdalene’), the Le Nain bothers (‘The Adoration of the Shepherds’) and Philippe de Champaigne (‘The Last Supper’).
