Antonio Paolucci. A Picture Bigger Than the Church - Lectures

30 march 2011 
free admission

Antonio Paolucci
Director of the Vatican Museums - chairman of the Scientific Committee
A Picture Bigger Than the Church
This is the short but fascinating story of a painting, the "Crucifixion" of Monte San Giusto in the province of Macerata, the heartland of the rural Marche.  It is the tale of Lorenzo Lotto and of Leonardo Bonafede, a priest in love with his village who commissioned the picture:  an account of the significance and value of a painting that is a self-contained sacred representation, living theater, a riotously wonderful dramatic performance.
