The life of Jesus Christ, celebrated in art, draws from every experience and every emotion: innocence, rapture, betrayal, loss, despair, hope. His depiction reveals the real history of the times that shaped the artists' work. Seeing Salvation investigates the original purpose of the art and questions images you've known all your life: The Nativity, The Crucifixion, The Last Supper. Expert knowledge from the National Gallery's Neil MacGregor gives us eyes to see beyond the immediate and the familiar - our own personal guided tour. How exactly does an artist attempt to capture the human and divine in one image?
