Description

The book of Ecclesiastes, one of the books of the Old Testament, is thought by most to have been written around the third century BCE. Its influence has been enduring and far-reaching. Its sentiments are so universal that they remain relevant and thought provoking even today. What is the meaning of life? For what purpose do we exist? In The Living Dead: Ecclesiastes Through Art, visitors were invited to explore the main themes from the book of Ecclesiastes through the visual aid of artworks spanning from the 16th to the 18th century. Featuring European masterpieces from many major museums and collections worldwide--among which the Galleria Borghese, the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), the Uffizi, the Rijksmuseum, and the Vatican Apostolic Library--the exhibition invited guests to contemplate universal ideas.
