El Greco In Focus: The Tears of St Peter
Sat 31 Mar 12 - Sun 29 Apr 12

An exhibition designed to tell and illustrate the Easter story for Christians and Non-Christians, centred on the famous painting by El Greco of ‘The Tears of St.Peter’, bought by John and Joséphine Bowes in the 19th century. The aim is to show it in a religious context, rather than an art historical context. Formerly unseen works by Spanish artists such as José Antolinez (1635-1675) and Angelo Nardi (1584-1663/5) will be on view, as well as marble sculptures from the reserve collections. There will a special section for children, designed to explain the story in a family friendly way.
