Through the Eyes of Classic European Painters of Different Enneagram Types Art can be a tool that expresses the soul of a person and also the characteristics of the personality of the artist. This work presents two central themes of the Christian faith (Christ’s birth and death) seen through the perspectives of art and of the Enneagram. Nine nativity and deposition scenes from different painters have been chosen, each one of them recalling the characteristic energy of a specific personality type. Each scene and its author will be historically and technically explained through the Enneagram perspective. Following the explanation the whole set of slides will be reviewed in silence as a meditation with a musical background.
