The ‘Christian Art’ website is the brainchild of a former director of Sotheby’s, London, Patrick van der Vorst, recently ordained to the Catholic priesthood.
He describes his offering as ‘Simple: one newsletter a day where we simply send you the Gospel reading of the day, alongside a work of art that we believe is poignant, reflective and appropriate to that reading.
We offer a short reflection on the artwork and the reading. We simply give you the tools for you to meditate on the daily Gospel alongside a work of art.’
Simple, it may be, but the results are sometimes astonishing.
The frequently surprising art choices and thought-provoking commentary at times achieve the nearly impossible – casting a new light on scripture passages long blunted by familiarity.
