This week's "All Things Considered" comes from the National Gallery in London to explore an exhibition which has brought some visitors to tears, and reduced others to silence.
The Sacred Made Real has been created to 'shock the senses and stir the soul'. With religious paintings and sculptures from the Spanish Golden Age of the 17th century - in an artform rarely seen outside of Spain - it's reckoned by one critic to be 'the most powerful show the National Gallery is ever likely to hold.'
Roy Jenkins and his guests visit the exhibition to see for themselves and also to try to work out what these astonishing images were saying four hundred years ago, and what they're communicating now.
