As the National Gallery has a lot of Christian devotional paintings, you’ll find a lot of saints. Edward Dickenson, one of the Gallery’s educators, explains how to identify and recognise saints by their attributes, which range from wonderful to gruesome.

This was absolutely excellent:upbeat and educational and fun.
This guy has a great attitude. I love these videos!
You're my favourite presenter so far and this is the subject I enjoy the most in the video list. Love learning about the symbolism!
I was there at the National Gallery on the 1st Dec 2021, saw Ed giving such a vivid and inspirational explanations to a group of school children, I was totally mesmerised by his storytelling skills and respect his unique ways to talk to children, fun, inspiring and very educational, a true warm hearted fun educator. WELL DONE ED!
He gave me a tour in national gallery and he was the educator for kids. 😇😇😇he is great !
I really enjoyed Ed’s presentation, very entertaining and enlightening. 😊
This was extremely well presented by the host, 5 minutes and I got a little bit smarter :)
Hi @Live Music, glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Ed, As a Catholic priest you have summed up the Catholic understanding of Hagiography. Well done!!
Ed is a great host! He deserves an iconography series on the channel :)
Your website and UA-cam channel are awesome! Italian museums should learn from what you do! We have tons of awesome art here and we often don't explain and display it in the right manner. Luckily at least the Uffizi are getting there 🙂
I visited the National Gallery this summer and was absolutely overwhelmed. I got to see everything I wanted to see, but next time I‘m getting a guided tour for sure.
each saint has a symbol and there are countless saints , so please do many more videos on this topic , also use the same host , he's very relaxed yet respectful - nice job !
This was wonderful! Thanks so much for enlightening us!
I'm really enjoying this series, more would be greatly appreciated!
Veramente fantastico. Molto bravo l'educator Edward, complimenti per come ha reso semplici delle spiegazioni di quadri d'arte complicati. Grazie da Italia
Fantastic thank you for your vivid explanation, I visit the National Gallery once or twice a year, to me its a sanctuary of art. Love it all and love bien in the Gallery, in front of the paintings, exhibitions, museum shop ( I buy regularly, books souvenirs) or the cantine. Keep up with the good work, you and the whole team making the Gallery one of the most beautiful of Europe. I live in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Please do more of these. They are amazing.
Very educational and entertaining.

Hi johnnzboy, the Gallery Collection has many depictions of saints, so unfortunately not all could be discussed in this short video. If you're interested in learning more, you can find a list of attributes by category on our website: www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/learn-about-art/paintings-in-depth/painting-saints/recognising-saints-objects
Thanks for watching!
Surely this video should have been called 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints'
