Exhibition 'Kees de Kort | Icons.' in Biblical Museum
On show are traditional icons together with gouaches of artist Kees de Kort, showing important christian themes such as The birth of Jesus, Easter, Ascension Day and Pentecost. The works of De Kort are celebrated because of their humanity, their color and brightness. They were made as bible illustrations, world famous in the 'Kijkbijbel'. The ca 60 works of De Kort are combined with some 40 icons from the important collection of the Ikonenmuseum Kampen. De Kort painted the real thing, not just pictures of it. The same goes for traditional icons, representing not just an interpretation of the holy, but being the holy.
