The Light of the World: Artist Talk
Thu Apr 23, 2026 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EDT
Saladrigas Gallery at Belen Jesuit
The Olga M. and Carlos A. Saladrigas Gallery at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School proudly announces the opening of The Light of the World, a Christ-centered art exhibition exploring the depiction of Jesus Christ across centuries and cultures. The exhibition will be on view from March 12 through May 6, 2026.
A Journey Through Sacred Art
For nearly two thousand years, artists have interpreted the figure of Jesus Christ—shaping some of history’s most profound and visually stunning masterpieces. The Light of the World invites visitors to experience this rich tradition, featuring paintings, sculptures, and drawings from the 16th century to today. The exhibition brings together Russian icons, Renaissance works, paintings from the Cuzco School, late 19th- and early 20th-century Latin American art, and contemporary works by local and international artists—including icons created as prayers in the 21st century.
Curated by Carol Damian, Ph.D., and Adriana Herrera, Ph.D., the exhibition offers an immersive journey through the story of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of artists from Europe, Russia, South America, and the United States.
