I read this article in my hard copy of CT ... it was a beautiful insight as to how we can consider the art of centuries past in relation to the art of today. I was "wowed" by the detailed understanding of the 15th century Campin's "Annunciation Triptych" & how Weichbrodt, the author, additionally paralleled it to the modern-day "holy work" of Hendrickson's. We are reminded that "prayer and work" can be one.
This is a lovely and powerful article--thank you! Of course the "wildness" reminds us of Aslan.
Beautiful, alive!

Wonderful, almost sensuous essay! Thanks so much for the weaving of material details, the amazing turns of phrase, such as "art expands my wonder."
Beautiful article.
