How does a mere mortal go about creating an image of a heavenly being? Across religions and centuries artists have sought to make spiritual messengers, protectors and protagonists visible through their skill and imagination. This lecture will explore Christian iconography through works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Van Eyck and William Blake.
