In this episode, we explore the artistic partnership between Friedrich Overbeck, leader of the Nazarene movement, and sculptor Karl Hoffmann, whose works found a lasting home at Ushaw College. We dive into how their shared vision shaped religious art during the 19th-century Catholic revival in England. From Our Lady of Help to other notable commissions at Ushaw, Hoffmann’s sculptures, deeply influenced by Overbeck in Rome, became powerful symbols of faith and devotion. Discover how their collaboration left a spiritual and artistic legacy that still resonates today.
