Sacred Gifts

Last evening Darwin, Bob and I went to the BYU Museum of Art to visit an exhibition:  "Sacred Gifts: The Religious Art of Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann, and Frans Schwartz".  The exhibition included four altar paintings, the centerpieces of many churches, and eight paintings from the Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark.
The  paintings from the Fredeniksborg Castle have never before been out of the Oratory since they were installed (in the 1860s and 1870s) and apparently they will not be loaned again  The paintings were quite spectacular.
