THE BEAUTY OF FAITH: CHRISTIAN ART HISTORY with Dr. Jared Staudt

The greatest art in history has flowed forth from the Christian faith. God has suffused his creation with splendor, which he has taken upon himself and elevated as the Word became flesh.

Join us for an extraordinary journey through two millennia of Catholic visual art! From the humble remains of house churches to grand cathedrals, from ancient frescoes to Renaissance masterpieces, we will explore the breadth and depth sparked by the Catholic imagination, covering the most significant masterpieces and artists.

Together, we will follow the story of Catholic art, tracing its major stages of development, as we pause to contemplate the truths of the faith they convey.

Rediscover the history of sacred art - the beauty that is the splendor and goodness of our faith. See how sacred art calls us out of the darkness and draws us to Christ. Be a part of this pilgrimage to see how beauty has shaped the Church and the world!
