DRAMATIC ENCOUNTERS / THE MAGI AND THE CHRIST CHILD

The story of an unforgettable meeting is always a gift for artists and writers alike. This well-illustrated weekly series will bring us face to face with paintings, poetry and fiction in which fame, beauty, myth, history and the human spirit bring people together in such dramatic circumstances that they, and we, are left thinking that never before have we seen, or read, anything quite like it.


The mystery of where the Magi came from, what they looked like, and how they were dressed appears to present no problems for Giotto, Botticelli, Gentile da Fabriano, Rubens, Rembrandt and Murillo, nor for Yeats and Sylvia Plath, while TS Eliot’s discovery of the Christ Child’s visitors reads like a miracle in itself.
