"Christ and the Penitents" (17th c) by Gerard Seghers 

FLORIDA---One of my favorite places to experience religious art is the Bass Museum of Art in Miami, Florida because it tries harder than most to explore the connections between historical and contemporary art, and to prompt a dialogue between generations of artists. Currently, for example the works from the historical era (500 years of Renaissance and Baroque) are on display with works by contemporary artists Janine Antoni, Michele Oka Doner and American abstract expressionist Peter Voulkos. It's a unique and inspirational way to enjoy the Old Masters collection donated to the city by John and Johannna Bass in 1963 in a contemporary light (or vice versa).
