Art as Faith

These artists both considered painting to be an active expression of their Christian faith. Schnorr von Carolsfeld belonged to the Nazarenes, a group of painters who sought to "re-enchant" painting with Christian ideals. Fra Bartolommeo, working 300 years earlier, was an innovator of a new type of modest and simple Christian imagery.
  Curator Jon Seydl explains the importance of religion to these artists.
