Religious art is an exciting topic covering some of the best art ever created, and encompassing some of the real art masters, over many generations and across many cultures. In the west, Christian art is perhaps best known, and from that Renaissance art flourished to bring us the likes of Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. Religious buildings also were used to show off some of the best work around this time. The art and religion worlds have been linked very closely at times when society itself was most involved in religion.
Nowadays the west has in some ways moved away from religious art and much of it has become sterile, in the opinions of some. Others respect is for its contribution to the art movements that we have today, and for the talent that is shown in the works of the more impressive artists.
Religious art has often used famous scenes from biblical scripture as the basis for its work, as well as individual people. Christian art regularly turns to Christ and Madonna for inspiration.
