Religion

Infused with reverence and symbolism, our religious artworks echo centuries of faith, ritual, and transcendence. These timeless pieces are rich in narrative and spiritual depth, connecting the visible with the divine.

  • Saint Elizabeth Of Hungary (1879)

    Saint Elizabeth Of Hungary (1879)

    Hugues Merle (French, 1823–1881)

    A young woman kneels in humble devotion, her simple robe pooling around her. The light catches her lowered eyes and clasped hands, framing quiet piety against the shadows. No crown marks her station—only the weight of compassion in her bowed shoulders.

  • A Roman Offering (circa 1891)

    A Roman Offering (circa 1891)

    John William Waterhouse (British, 1849-1917)

    A young woman kneels at an altar, her white robe pooling around her. She holds a golden bowl aloft, eyes lowered in solemn devotion. Smoke curls from the offering as shadows stretch across marble steps—ancient rites performed under the watch of stone gods.

  • The Virgin Enthroned with St. Catherine and St. Mary Magdalene (ca. 1510)

    The Virgin Enthroned with St. Catherine and St. Mary Magdalene (ca. 1510)

    Master of St. Severin (German, unknown)

    Golden light bathes the Virgin seated on her throne, flanked by St. Catherine’s quiet strength and St. Mary Magdalene’s contemplative gaze. Their draped robes pool in rich folds, drawing the eye upward to the sacred hush between them. A moment suspended—divine grace made visible through color and form.

  • The Buddha (1904)

    The Buddha (1904)

    Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

    A golden Buddha emerges from swirling darkness, his serene face half-lit. The air hums with quiet power, as if the figure might dissolve into the shadows any moment. Mysticism lingers in the brushstrokes, neither fully present nor entirely dream.

  • The Agony in the Garden (ca. 1504)

    The Agony in the Garden (ca. 1504)

    Raphael (Italian, 1483-1520)

    Moonlight spills over the slumped figure in Gethsemane. His hands clutch the earth as shadows swallow the sleeping disciples. Above, an angel descends with a cup—its contents unclear. The night hums with silent tension between surrender and resolve.

  • Ulysses And The Sirens (Circa 1909)

    Ulysses And The Sirens (Circa 1909)

    Herbert James Draper (English, 1863–1920)

    Bound to the mast, Ulysses strains against the ropes as the sirens’ song coils around him. Their pale arms reach from the waves, voices weaving through the salt air. The crew rows on, ears stuffed with wax, blind to the creatures whose hunger glints beneath the surface.

  • The Martyr of the Solway (About 1871)

    The Martyr of the Solway (About 1871)

    Sir John Everett Millais (English, 1829–1896)

    A woman stands waist-deep in icy water, hands bound, face lifted toward the sky. The tide rises around her, but her gaze stays fixed—not on the coming waves, but something beyond them. The wind whips her hair, the light catches her last breath. Martyrdom wears no fear here.

  • St. Peter in Prison (1631)

    St. Peter in Prison (1631)

    Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669)

    A dim cell holds Saint Peter, chains heavy on his wrists. Light spills from an unseen angel, illuminating his weary face—caught between doubt and deliverance. The shadows press close, but the moment trembles with quiet transformation.

  • The repentance of Saint Peter (1874)

    The repentance of Saint Peter (1874)

    Jean André Rixens (French, 1846–1925)

    A slumped figure clutches his face, fingers digging into weathered skin. The weight of betrayal hangs heavy in the dim light, his rough robes pooling around him like a discarded shroud. Shadows swallow the edges of the room, leaving only the raw anguish at its center exposed.
