Partner organisations like public art gallery Oriel Davies in Newtown, Powys, offer new ways for audiences to engage with these paintings. Already making a splash at the gallery is Tobias and the Angel, painted as an altarpiece around 1470-1475 and attributed to the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio. A Deeper Understanding: Responding to Tobias and the Angel sees six artists and one further artist-partnership explore well-being, reflection and contemplation in relation to this masterpiece.
