From paintings to sculptures and engravings to tapestries, these artistic masterpieces serve as windows into the faith's profound beliefs and stories. San Giovanni Battista, a captivating oil painting on board from around 1480, depicts John the Baptist in all his glory. The artist skillfully captures his spiritual aura and significance within Christian tradition. In contrast, San Girolamo stands tall as a marble sculpture created around 1580. This striking piece showcases Saint Jerome's devotion through intricate details that bring him to life. The Madonna (Sorrowful Virgin), crafted between 1583-1584 in bronze, evokes deep emotions with its portrayal of Mary grieving for her son Jesus. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and redemption central to Christian teachings. Moving forward in time, we encounter The Countess of Cluzel (Marie-Terese Antoinette de Cluzel) painted in 1779. This exquisite oil painting on oval canvas demonstrates how Christianity influenced portraiture during this period while highlighting the subject's devoutness. Saint Jerome reappears in another masterpiece from 1626-27; an oil painting that captures his contemplative nature and intellectual pursuits. Through this artwork, viewers can delve into the saint's profound contributions to biblical scholarship. Polyptych of Conversano reveals a detailed panel depicting the Nativity scene dating back to 1475. Its vibrant tempera colors showcase religious symbolism intertwined with artistic finesse. Portrait of Mother Jeronima de la Fuente from 1620 offers an intimate glimpse into a nun’s spirituality through delicate brushwork and soft hues that convey serenity and piety.
