"Haloes: Illuminating Divine Presence in Art Through the Ages" Step into a world where spirituality and art intertwine, as we explore the captivating concept of haloes. These radiant symbols have adorned countless masterpieces throughout history, serving as visual representations of holiness and divinity. Intricately woven into tapestries like the 1475 panel depicting St Barbara, the Virgin Mary, the Holy Trinity, St Joseph, and St Catharine or the stunning Incarnation with Saints Barbara and Catherine from the same era; haloes elevate these religious figures to celestial realms. Delve further into this ethereal realm through a fragmentary tapestry showcasing an enchanting scene of The Virgin and Child with St James from 1450-75. The woolen threads effortlessly capture divine light surrounding these sacred beings. Witness how different mediums bring haloes to life - whether it be on wood or canvas. From oil paintings such as St Placidus or Madonna del Davanzale's delicate brushwork that illuminates their subjects' sanctity; each stroke adds depth to their heavenly glow. Tempera on canvas transports us to moments frozen in time - Madonna with Child and Saints exudes serenity while evoking reverence for those depicted within its frame. Meanwhile, Head of a Saint captivates viewers with its striking portrayal of spiritual radiance emanating from within. The power extends beyond traditional paintings; even wood engravings like Kiss of Judas (1926) leave an indelible impression by capturing intense emotions amidst divine illumination. Our Lady of Lourdes (1920), a mesmerizing woodcut engraving, invites contemplation through its intricate details bathed in celestial light. As we journey through centuries-old artworks featuring haloes adorning saints and biblical scenes alike, one thing becomes clear: these luminous circles serve not only as artistic embellishments but also as powerful reminders of the divine presence among us.
