The story of Christ’s death has dominated western culture for the past 2000 years as recounted by the gospels but, equally, as depicted by the most important artists in history. Displaying some of the greatest artworks ever produced and using the words of the gospels, these specials highlight works from artists such as Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Leonardo, El Greco, Rembrandt, and many more.
