Have you ever stopped to look closely at the stories told through art at Liverpool Cathedral? 👀🎨
In 1996, the Cathedral was presented with four paintings inspired by the parables of Jesus, including two striking works by Glaswegian artist Adrian Wiszniewski.
From The Good Samaritan to House Built Upon Rock, these paintings bring familiar biblical stories into a contemporary setting, filled with symbolism, detail and connections to Liverpool.
Our intern, Martha Luke, has taken a closer look at Wiszniewski’s two commissions, exploring the stories, symbolism and fascinating details you might otherwise miss.
Read Martha’s article on Art UK's website and discover the stories behind the paintings!
