Just back from a conference at the St Gabriel's Conference Centre in Suffolk where the chapel contains a marvellous painting by the Australian artist, Alan Oldfield.
A reproduction of the painting The Revelations of Divine Love can be seen by clicking here. The painting is the largest of a series of paintings which are meditations on Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love and was purchased by the Friends of Julian following a exhibition of the series in Norwich Cathedral in 1988.
Oldfield, who was twice winner of Australia's Blake Prize for Religious Art, said that this painting was his way of paying back what he had learnt from Julian of Norwich. The painting can best be summarised as follows: "Through his Passion, Julian sees Christ's glory. It is his love for Creation which brings about the resurrection of a perfected mankind."
