Catherine Lawrence, Art Hostorian presents: “Christian Art: The Human and the Divine”

From the catacombs beneath Rome to the grandeur of the Renaissance, the spirit of Christianity is written in its sacred art. Artists have created images of Jesus Christ, his disciples, the Virgin Mary, saints and martyrs for over 2,000 years. How did they express Christian theology in creating human representations of the Divine? Christian art reflects the history of our faith and delivers the message of hope to present and future generations. This spirit is summed up in the words of the Psalmist: “O worship the Lord in the beauty of Holiness.”
