This handsome volume edited by Caroline Miggiani and Gabriel Zammit marks the Malta Society of Arts’s Centenary Celebrations. It brings together a collection of essays by various authors. Joseph Paul Cassar’s paper entitled: THE ROLE OF THE MALTA SOCIETY OF ARTS IN PROMOTING SACRED ART IN MALTA, is based on newly discovered documents at the archives of the Society dealing with early organised exhibitions focusing particularly on sacred art, such as the one held in 1945, inaugurated by His Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir Edmund C. A. Schreiber and Lady Schreiber, and blessed by the Metropolitan Archbishop His Grace Mgr Michael Gonzi. The study also offers a detailed analysis of Anton Inglott’s painting of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (1943), its history and is compared to its replacement by Emvin Cremona’s work of the same title in 1952. The discussion concludes with analysis of the promotion of recent acquisitions by the Society which continue to highlight sacred art, including a recent donation of a drawing by Josef Kalleya.
