Temple Gallery: Christmas Exhibition



I have just received notification of the Temple Gallery's Christmas Exhibition, so if you are thinking of Christmas presents, for say an iconophile, blogging parish priest look here. Similarly, if you have a few thousand spare that St Basil (top) is very, very nice. I love him... already.
If you think good religious art is important in your life, drop into the tiny little gallery in Holland Park. If you can't afford their prices, which range from a few hundred up, they will be more than willing to give you one of their beautiful catalogues. Richard Temple is always fun to chat to, and you always come away knowing just a little more than you went in with.
By the way I also like the St Nicholas which is a bit cheaper than St Basil, but you choose.
Forget the bottles of "Blue Nun" for Father this Christmas, buy him an icon.
