The Museum of Biblical Art (MoBiA)on Manhattan's Upper West Side is holding the exhibition, Passion in Venice, showcasing images of Christ as the Man of Sorrows in Venetian art, including works by Crivelli, Tintoretto, and Veronese. Devotional portraits of the Suffering Christ had their origins in the iconography of Byzantium and made their way in the Middle Ages to Venice, where the theme found particular favor among artists, working in a variety of media. This Lenten-themed exhibition traces the development of Man of Sorrow imagery in illuminated manuscripts, paintings, prints, sculpture and liturgical objects, looking at how this iconic image shaped Venetian piety in the Renaissance and the years that followed. There will be a special program of events, linked to the art exhibit, including a lecture on April 14 on "The Tradition of the Stations of the Cross." The show runs until June 11.
