| Description: |
Not long after Martin Luther's defiance of the Church in 1517, dialogue between Protestants and Catholics broke down and religious wars erupted across Europe. Desperate to restore the unity of Faith, Catholic theologians turned to arts to help reaffirm Catholic doctrines. Over the years, it included Michelangelo and other great artists, such as the edgy Caravaggio, the graceful Guido Reni, the technically perfect Annibale Carracci, the colourful Barocci, the theatrical Bernini, and the passionate Artemisia Gentileschi. Each of these creative souls, despite their own interior struggles, was a key player in this magnificent, generations-long project: the affirmation through beauty of the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church.
Here you will meet the fascinating artists who formed this cadre's core. You will revel in scores of their full-colour paintings. And you will profit from the lucid explanations of their lovely creations. |
