'In his writing on art, Harries has picked up the mantle left by Sister Wendy Beckett of writing popular reflections that combine art history and Christian contemplation. This is a vital task, as much that is written on the visual arts in a church context is primarily geared to an academic audience, and images such as those chosen by Harries deserve to be more widely appreciated than that context makes possible.'
For more on 'Majesty' and Richard Harries, read my Artlyst piece on 'Paula Rego and Lord Harries Respond to Art and Religion'.
