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.

  • Femme en prière (1885)

    Femme en prière (1885)

    Jean Béraud (French, 1849–1935)

    A woman kneels in quiet devotion, her hands clasped tightly. The dim light catches the folds of her dress, shadows pooling around her. No grand cathedral—just an ordinary room, where faith feels intimate, almost fragile. Her bowed head speaks louder than any hymn.

  • Saint Catherine of Alexandria (ca 1597)

    Saint Catherine of Alexandria (ca 1597)

    Caravaggio (Italian, 1571–1610)

    A young woman gazes upward, her face illuminated against the dark. A palm branch rests in her hand—martyrdom’s quiet symbol. The blade’s shadow looms near her neck, yet her expression holds neither fear nor triumph, only a stillness that lingers between life and something beyond.

  • Old Woman Reading The Bible (1904)

    Old Woman Reading The Bible (1904)

    Albert Anker (Swiss, 1831–1910)

    An elderly woman sits hunched over her Bible, fingers tracing the worn pages. The light from the window catches her glasses as she mouths the words silently, lost in devotion. The room is simple, but the weight of her faith fills the space.

  • Lesender Mönch

    Lesender Mönch

    Carl Schleicher (Austrian, 1825–1903)

    A monk sits hunched over a book, his face half-hidden in shadow. The pages absorb him completely, the quiet intensity of his focus cutting through the dim light. Around him, the world fades—only the words matter now.

  • A female figure dressed in blue holding a palm

    A female figure dressed in blue holding a palm

    Charles Fairfax Murray (English, 1849–1919)

    A woman in flowing blue robes cradles a palm branch, her gaze distant yet intent. The drapery swirls around her like water, the green frond resting lightly against her arm. There’s weight in her stillness—something solemn, waiting. The blue deepens where shadows gather in the folds.

  • The Guardian Angel

    The Guardian Angel

    Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (English, 1833–1898)

    A winged figure stands watch, draped in flowing robes, its gaze both tender and solemn. The angel’s presence feels like a whispered promise—protection unseen but unshaken. Light clings to its feathers, soft yet unyielding, as if the divine could be glimpsed in the stillness between breaths.

  • Yellow Christ (1889)

    Yellow Christ (1889)

    Emile Bernard (French, 1868–1941)

    A stark yellow Christ hangs on the cross, his body merging with the flat, vibrant fields behind him. The scene pulses with unnatural color—more vision than reality, where suffering and landscape become one.

  • Witch’s Tree

    Witch’s Tree

    Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (English, 1833–1898)

    A gnarled tree twists skyward, its branches clawing at the air. Beneath its shadow, a witch lingers—her presence both ominous and magnetic. The scene hums with quiet power, where myth and nature entwine in uneasy harmony. Something ancient stirs here, just beyond sight.

  • The Immaculate Conception (1874)

    The Immaculate Conception (1874)

    Jean-Joseph-Benjamin Constant (French, 1845–1902)

    A radiant Virgin Mary floats amid golden light, her blue robes swirling as angels gather below. Divine rays pierce the clouds, casting an otherworldly glow across the scene. The composition balances earthly weight with celestial grace, drawing the eye upward toward the sacred figure at its heart.
