Description

The Christian faith has been the driving force behind the greatest body of works of art in the history of mankind”

Christian art can be found in different forms. There are paintings, architectures, sculptures, canvases, etc., all over the world that have served as the Church's letter of introduction. For a long time, it was believed that this form of expression derived from Paleochristianity, a degeneration of Roman art. But later it was shown that its beginnings were centered on the influence of classical realism, softened by Asian liveliness, producing works of clarity, beauty of form and sobriety of lines.

With these ideas, the first tempos were created, which were designed in the form of a Latin cross to represent the crucified Christ. Then, in the paintings, two modalities can be found, the first one is the mural, destined to the interior decoration of the tempos. And the second is the easel, in which images of the bible were depicted.

Thus, over the years, each expression has evolved and brought more people closer to the Church, either as faithful or as historians and artists seeking inspiration for their works. Therefore, studying this type of subject is essential for those professionals who wish to unravel the mysteries behind the art in every painting, brick and piece of glass.

For all this, this postgraduate diploma will present a journey that begins with medieval art, through the Gothic art that dominated in France since the 12th century, culminating in the most representative expressions of the 20th century in Latin America.

Postgraduate Diploma in Christian Art

Christian art is an artistic style that has evolved over the centuries in Christian culture, and has been used to express the faith, devotion and history of the Christian religion. Its deepest roots in Antiquity are from the Roman Empire, in which the Christian religion was popularized. This era is characterized by the creation of Christian churches and basilicas, and the use of mosaics, frescoes and sculptures to adorn these religious buildings.

Christian art has also evolved over the centuries in different regions of the world. For example, during the Middle Ages in Europe, Christian art was noted for the creation of paintings and sculptures depicting biblical stories, as well as the construction of impressive Gothic cathedrals. In the modern era, Christian art has experienced a variety of styles, from traditional sacred art and oil painting to much more contemporary forms, such as pop art and installation.

Ultimately, Christian art is a form of artistic expression that has developed over many centuries and cultural regions. It aims to depict biblical stories, the life of Christ and religious devotion, and can take a variety of forms, from sculptures and paintings to architecture and modern art.
