What does the idea of being divinely inspired tell us about the practice of making art? For centuries in the western world, religion was the great driving force for artists, musicians and writers. Art historian Janina Ramirez, cultural commentator Laura-Jane Foley and novelist, essayist and critic AN Wilson join Stig Abell to discuss the nature of divine inspiration and whether it still holds sway in an increasingly secular society.
