Behold Your Heart: Dante Biennial 2024
Behold Your Heart brings together works inspired by two of Dante’s poems: La Vita Nuova and The Divine Comedy. The exhibition includes works by Emma Haworth, Henry Holiday, John Holcomb, Barbara Macfarlane, Alice Macdonald, Sidney Nolan, Tom Philips, Ed Ruscha, Phil Shaw, Hepzibah Swinford, and Tobias Till.
“I think John Holcomb’s portraits are exquisite. Heavily inspired by Botticelli’s portraits of Dante’s distinctive profile, they portray the poet in bold, saturated hues that bring him into our contemporary world, accentuating the continued relevance of his writings.”
