Glorious Splendor: Treasures of Early Christian Art
Until 18th February 2018
Christian art borrowed heavily from non-Christian traditions in terms of its techniques and choice of media, its style and its iconography. Glorious Splendor traces these continuities through the most remarkable objects of the period – precious stones, metals and jewelry. The objects in the exhibition date from the 2nd century B.C. to the 7th century A.D.
Among the highlights in the exhibition will be a large silver paten showing the earliest surviving image of the Communion of the Apostles (A.D. 542); a gold pendant cross with openwork decoration and sapphires (6th-early 7th century A.D.); a cameo with pearls depicting the annunciation (6th century A.D.); and gold earrings with garnets (1st century A.D.).
Opening hours: Daily 10am to 4pm - Closed Mondays
Admission: Free
