A New York gallery is hosting the new exhibition, which will run through the first week of Lent.

Located in Chelsea, on the west side of New York City, the Luhring Augustine art gallery is hosting a new exhibition that focuses on the medieval concept of the human form. Titled “The Medieval Body,” the display, which features numerous medieval Christian works of art, will be open from January 21 until March 12, 2022.

‘The Medieval Body’
The exhibition focuses on the medieval concept of the body’s interconnection with the soul. It is meant to tell a unique story about the human form as both a physical entity and a recognizable metaphor. The presented works span the course of a millennium in order to offer insight into the body’s influence on the development of European art of the Middle Ages.
