In servitio ecclesiae. Portraits by Gotthard Bonell

This exhibition presents contemporary ecclesiastical history in the mirror of moving portraits and biographies. The pictures of 29 clergymen, including their preliminary studies, portrayed by the artist Gotthard Bonell during his long career will be exhibited. Among them is the entire spectrum of clergymen from pope to cooperator. But intellectuals, journalists, artists and scientists are not missing either. These are personalities who have already died as well as those who are still alive, but all of whom have achieved something special in their lives. So the circle is wide, the scale is broad and the selection knows no fronts.
