Oude Kerk
Golgotha presents six large paintings from Arie Schippers’ series tracing Jesus’ life, from Mary’s pregnancy to the ascension. The works are shown without explanations, inviting personal interpretations of themes like love, betrayal, loneliness, and courage. This approach fosters a personal connection, encouraging viewers to reflect on the stories in their own way. The exhibition’s scale and subject matter offer a thoughtful experience for anyone interested in contemplative art. Additional paintings from the series are displayed at 38cc in Delft, allowing visitors to extend their experience and explore more of Schippers’ vision. Without guided interpretation, you can take time with each piece, noticing details that resonate uniquely. Whether visiting alone or with others, the exhibition creates space for quiet reflection and meaningful observation. It offers a chance to engage with familiar stories through a fresh, visual lens.
