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.

  • St Cecilia

    St Cecilia

    John William Waterhouse (British, 1849-1917)

    A saint sits enraptured, fingers hovering above the strings. An angel leans close, whispering divine melodies only she can hear. The air hums with silent music, her face alight with celestial inspiration. Golden light spills across her robes, blurring the line between earthly devotion and heavenly communion.

  • Friede (1910-1920)

    Friede (1910-1920)

    Tom Von Dreger (Austrian, 1868–1948)

    A woman’s face emerges from shadow, eyes closed in quiet surrender. Golden light traces her features, softening the sharp lines of sorrow. Not triumph, not despair—just stillness, as if she’s listening to something beyond the frame. The title whispers its promise: *Peace*. But whose? And at what cost?

  • Belshazzar’s feast (from 1634 until 1639)

    Belshazzar’s feast (from 1634 until 1639)

    Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669)

    A ghostly hand etches fiery letters across the banquet hall as golden goblets slip from trembling fingers. The revelry dies mid-laugh—royal faces frozen between arrogance and terror. Babylon’s last feast shatters beneath divine judgment scrawled in light upon the wall.

  • Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet

    Francesco Hayez (Italian, 1791–1882)

    A final embrace, desperate and tender. The dim light catches their intertwined hands, the dagger’s gleam. Love and fate collide in this silent moment—Shakespeare’s tragedy made flesh, frozen in brushstrokes. No words, just the weight of what’s lost.

  • Pandora (1910-1912)

    Pandora (1910-1912)

    Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

    Pandora emerges from swirling darkness, her face half-lit by an unseen glow. The box rests lightly in her hands—its contents unknown, its weight unbearable. Shadows curl around her like smoke, hinting at the chaos about to spill forth. A single moment before everything changes.

  • Le bon Dieu chez les enfants Pl.08 (1920)

    Le bon Dieu chez les enfants Pl.08 (1920)

    Francis Jammes (French, unknown)

    Children gather in hushed wonder, their small hands reaching toward something unseen. Light spills softly around them, hinting at a presence both tender and vast. The ordinary room feels charged—not with fear, but quiet awe. Their faces tilt upward, as if listening to a voice only they can hear.

  • Sibylle of Cleves (1526)

    Sibylle of Cleves (1526)

    Lucas Cranach the Elder (German, 1472–1553)

    A poised noblewoman gazes from the canvas, her intricate headdress framing a face of quiet resolve. The rich fabrics and delicate jewelry speak of status, yet her direct stare holds something unreadable—a hint of defiance beneath the expected decorum of 16th-century German aristocracy.

  • Marvel of the World

    Marvel of the World

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

    A golden figure emerges from swirling mist, draped in celestial robes. Myth and mystery intertwine as light dances across intricate patterns, hinting at divine secrets just beyond reach. The scene pulses with quiet power, drawing the viewer into its otherworldly glow.

  • The Madonna and Child surrounded by a floral garland

    The Madonna and Child surrounded by a floral garland

    Jan Brueghel the Younger (Flemish, 1601–1678)

    A luminous Madonna cradles the infant Christ, encircled by a lush wreath of blooming flowers. Delicate petals frame the sacred pair, their vibrant colors contrasting with the serene figures. The garland bursts with life, as if nature itself bends to honor the divine mother and child.
