  1. Dziś przypada rocznica urodzin Guercina – włoskiego malarza baroku, który urodził się 8 lutego 1591 r. Znany z mistrzowskiego operowania światłem i emocjonalnej głębi swoich obrazów, tworzył dzieła zarówno religijne, jak i świeckie. Jego twórczość wywarła ogromny wpływ na sztukę XVII wieku. (fot.

  2. Guercino -- The Dead Christ Mourned By Two Angels --1618 -- National Gallery, London

    An intelligent and usually sensitive friend of mine told me once that her own lack of religious belief meant that art with a religious subject was simply not for her.

    I was saddened and taken aback by this reaction. I have not an ounce of religious belief, yet I immerse myself in this picture as I might do in a narrative or a piece of music and find it at once moving and pleasurable.
