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.

  • Flower of God

    Flower of God

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

    An angel kneels in golden light, cradling a luminous blossom. Its petals glow like stained glass, radiating divine warmth. The figure’s wings tremble slightly, as if the flower’s weight transcends mere physical form. Every brushstroke hums with quiet reverence—this isn’t just a flower, but sacred light given shape.

  • Poet And Satyrs (C. 1890-1895)

    Poet And Satyrs (C. 1890-1895)

    Gustave Moreau (French, 1826–1898)

    A poet sits among satyrs, their wild eyes gleaming. The air hums with unspoken verses and untamed laughter. Myth bleeds into reality where ink meets vine, and the boundaries between sacred and profane dissolve. Something ancient stirs in their shared silence—a pact, a temptation, a song waiting to be sung.

  • The Birth of the Virgin

    The Birth of the Virgin

    Sebastiano Conca (Italian, 1680–1764)

    Golden light spills across the room as women gather around the newborn Mary, their faces alight with quiet awe. Swirling fabrics and tender gestures frame the infant, hinting at the divine destiny awaiting her. The scene hums with quiet anticipation, a sacred moment wrapped in earthly warmth.

  • La Vierge en buste

    La Vierge en buste

    Émile Munier (French, 1840–1895)

    A delicate bust of the Virgin Mary, her gaze tender yet distant, framed by soft folds of fabric. The gentle play of light and shadow lends her an ethereal presence, as if caught between earthly devotion and divine grace.

  • The raising of Lazarus (after Rembrandt)

    The raising of Lazarus (after Rembrandt)

    Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

    A shrouded figure emerges from shadow, half-alive, as bystanders recoil in awe. The air hums with tension between death and revival, light clawing at the darkness. Rembrandt’s ghost lingers in the strokes, but the scene pulses with raw, urgent energy—less a miracle, more a struggle.

  • The Repentant Magdalen (c. 1635-1640)

    The Repentant Magdalen (c. 1635-1640)

    Georges de La Tour (French, unknown)

    A single candle flickers in the dark, casting soft light on Mary Magdalene’s bowed head. Her hands rest on a skull, its hollow gaze mirroring her quiet sorrow. The flame’s glow licks at the edges of the frame, leaving the rest swallowed by shadow—a moment suspended between penance and peace.

  • Saint Benedict (ca. 1640–45)

    Saint Benedict (ca. 1640–45)

    Francisco de Zurbarán (Spanish, 1598–1664)

    A monk stands cloaked in shadow, gripping a wooden cross. The folds of his robe catch the light, stark against the darkness. His gaze is steady, unwavering—a quiet defiance. The painting hums with restrained power, drawing you into the stillness of his resolve.

  • Tapisserie ayant appartenu au chevalier Bayard 2 (1838)

    Tapisserie ayant appartenu au chevalier Bayard 2 (1838)

    Achille Jubinal (French, unknown)

    A medieval tapestry, rich with threads of gold and crimson, unfolds scenes of chivalry and faith—once owned by the legendary knight Bayard. Its woven figures seem to whisper tales of honor, battle, and devotion, frozen in time yet alive with motion.

  • The Sistine Madonna (between 1512 and 1513)

    The Sistine Madonna (between 1512 and 1513)

    Raphael (Italian, 1483-1520)

    The Virgin steps through parted curtains, the Christ child in her arms. Two cherubs rest below, gazing upward with solemn wonder. Green drapes frame the scene like a stage, revealing clouds where faint faces emerge. Her bare feet barely touch the ground—a mother suspended between heaven and earth.
