I don’t like to play things down when good things happen.  One needs to enjoy them and enjoy talking about them.  Why not? There are plenty of day-to-day struggles, so we need to recognise and celebrate some of the great moments we all work so hard for…

“…the Holy Family shelters in front of a dark cave instead of the more familiar rustic hut. The Christ Child lies naked on the ground with only a thin cloth between him and the cold earth…”

“What a wonderful stamp of approval. These are two excellent festivals, very much respected. The competition to get in is fierce and to actually win is simply fabulous.”

EOS director Phil Grabsky delves into the vast and bustling world of Veronese’ Wedding Feast at Cana, where Christ famously transformed water into wine!

An impressionistic masterpiece that marks the end of an era. This sublime scene of Lord Nelson’s Temeraire being towed down the Thames to its destruction has been voted a favourite of the nation.

“Here was a chance for an artist to depict beauty, horror and drama on a surface level, and the Church’s message at a deeper level.” Phil Grabsky delves into Caravaggio’s shocking painting of the story of Judith beheading Holofernes.
