MADISON — Original art pieces from the St. John’s Illuminated Bible are now on exhibit at the Chazen Art Museum on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
Commissioned by St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minn., the St. John’s Bible is the first handwritten and illustrated Bible to be commissioned in over 500 years. It is a beautiful work of art featuring 160 artworks or “illuminations.” Those who have already visited the exhibit recommend it very highly.
