How Catholic Art Saved The Faith
The Triumph of Beauty and Truth in Counter-Reformation Art
By Elizabeth Lev

At a time of spiritual unrest, and a large population that was unable to read, how did the Catholic Church spread the true Christian faith? By recruiting several of the finest artists ever known to make some of the best sacred art the world has ever seen. By turning to the Arts and canvas, rather than to the letter, a glorious wave of beautiful art would draw people together into the Church of God.

When dialogue between the newly formed Protestants and the traditional Catholic Christians broke down in 1517 with Martin Luther's defiance, Catholic theologians needed a new way to clarify and reaffirm the truths of the Faith. In these pages, discover the works of the classical artists they worked with to create masterpieces to convey Catholic truths. Artists here include of course Michaelangelo, Caravaggio, Guido Reni, Annibale Carracci, Barocci, Bernini, Artemisia Gentileschi and more.

Softcover with gorgeous full-color photos and commentary about them, 310 pages.
