Artlyst - National Gallery Explores Sin In New Exhibition

My latest interview for Artlyst is with Dr Joost Joustra, The Howard and Roberta Ahmanson Fellow in Art and Religion at the National Gallery, who has curated the first exhibition in the UK exploring sin in art. 'Sin' will bring together paintings from the National Gallery’s collection dating from the 16th to the 18th century with loans from important private and public collections including modern and contemporary works by Andy Warhol, Tracey Emin, and Ron Mueck:

"Brueghel’s ‘Christ and the Woman taken in Adultery’ is a key image ... Christ says, ‘He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.’ People who are pointing fingers and accusing one another stop and start thinking about where they are in the story and where they stand. This is an evocative story and image which still makes people stop and think."
