Christus Consolator, Carl Bloch, 1875
A gallery of the life of Jesus Christ
Masters of the Life of Christ
The great paintings of the Savior, hung in the order of His life. Walk from the Annunciation to the Ascension, stand in front of each moment, and look closer.
Hall one
The Gallery Walk
Sixty-nine moments from the Gospels, in order, with 143 works by eight masters hung in 68 rooms. Stand in Gethsemane and see how Bloch, Hofmann, Schwartz, Tissot and Ivanov each imagined it.
Walk the life of Christ
The first wing
Carl Bloch
The Danish painter whose Gospel scenes hang in meetinghouses around the world: his story, his King's Oratory paintings, his altarpieces and his etchings.
Enter the wingThe masters
Eleven painters, one life
Each master has a wing of their own. Eight of them died more than a century ago, and their paintings are in the public domain. Arnold Friberg, Harry Anderson and Del Parson are under copyright. Their honor wings tell their stories and link to their paintings where the owners share them.
