MOA Mini- Tour: Sir Edward John Poynter’s “The Prodigal’s Return”

Homecomings are tied up with joy, relief, and sometimes a bit of sadness. This piece allows viewers to experience this moment between the prodigal son and his father, as if they are there with them. Today’s #MOAMiniTour with curator Melanie Allred explores how Poynter brings this beloved story to life, and how we can apply the teachings of it to our lives, and our relationships.
