Forest Lawn art will be discussed
OXNARD — At 3 p.m. March 27, the Oxnard Public Library will host Forest Lawn representative Debbie McIntosh, who will explain stories behind three works of art that are showcased at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.
“The Last Supper,” “The Crucifixion” and “The Resurrection” depict the final events in Christ’s life. “The Last Supper” is a stained-glass window re-creation of a painting of the same name by Leonardo da Vinci. An Italian artist used notebooks left by da Vinci to create it, and it took her five years to finish it. “The Crucifixion” was painted by a Polish artist who had his palette blessed by Pope Leo the XIII before beginning the work. It is the largest mounted-to-frame religious painting in the world.
“The Resurrection” was painted by a California artist and completes the “Sacred Trilogy.” It is housed in the Hall of The Crucifixion-Resurrection in Forest Lawn Glendale, which was designed and built exclusively to display the two paintings. It was dedicated on Good Friday 1951.
The presentation is free and will be in meeting room B at the library, 251 South A St. For information, call 385-7532.
