Religious Art
CURATED COLLECTIONDevotional imagery spanning several centuries makes up this collection, from altarpiece panels and biblical narrative scenes to depictions of saints, martyrdoms and the Madonna and Child produced for churches, chapels and private devotion. Commissioned religious art formed the largest single category of European painting for centuries, produced under strict iconographic conventions that artists worked within rather than against. Techniques and settings shift considerably across the period represented, from gilded medieval panels through Renaissance and Baroque treatments of the same recurring subjects. The works reflect how central organised religion was to patronage and daily visual culture.
