SUMMARY:The Taking of Christ - Famous Paintings and their Hidden Histories–Autumn 2025
DESCRIPTION:Artist and art teacher  ine Andrews returns with another series of lectures on Famous Paintings and their Hidden Histories. In each lecture\,  ine will focus on a particular painting to recount its history\, as well as that of the artist and their story.\n\nThe lectures can be attended as a series\, but are also designed as standalone talks\, which can be attended individually. See series info  \n\nWeek 5: The Taking of Christ\n\nCaravaggio 1602\n\nNational Gallery of Ireland Dublin\n\nThe extraordinary Caravaggio 2025 exhibition at Palazzo Barberini Rome brought together 24 absolute masterpieces\, loaned from collections around the world. Among them was The Taking of Christ from the National Gallery in Dublin.\n\nPope Francis held a deep admiration for Caravaggio\, in spite of his controversial paintings and his reputation as a violent\, provocative man who eventually killed someone in a brawl.\n\nCaravaggio's art is also linked to Pope Leo's order through the Basilica of St. Augustine\, in the centre of Rome\, which houses "The Madonna of the Pilgrims".\n\nArt historians knew of The Taking of Christ but the painting itself was lost for several centuries.  Over the years it became the most sought after Caravaggio masterpiece\, until the unthinkable happened and it was found hiding in plain sight in a Jesuit house 'in Dublin of all places' in 1990.\n\nThe painting has now returned to Dublin\, but its fascinating story of course made it one of the Barberini exhibition's most exciting highlights. Hopefully the new Pope got to see it in Rome but who knows\, he may well have seen it on one of his many trips to Ireland.\n\n\n1.
