“Art Break: The Return of the Prodigal Son” with Jan Haugen

In this “Space for God: Beauty” devotional, Jan Haugen (National Gallery of Art Docent) guides us into an encounter with Bartolome Esteban Murillo’s The Return of the Prodigal Son.  She draws on Murillo’s story, historical context, and technique to help the painting come alive and illuminate fresh aspects of the famous biblical reunion it depicts.
