Dostoyevsky and Holbein – The Body of Christ
In this video I analyse Hans Holbein's famous painting of Christ in the tomb through the lens of Dostoevsky's brilliant novel The Idiot. I go on to explain the connection between despair in our mortality and our hope for some unseen salvation. Music - Wagner's Tristan and Isolde - Prelude to Act 3 Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor III - Tuba Mirum
