"Religious art Is the blossom of religious dogma, and is its pictorial exponent. It is no more possible to have a religious art without dogmas, than to have a religious worship without faith. From this faith In a revealed dogma, will spring, with more or less perfection and vigor, every work bearing. In the most remote manner, upon religious events and emotions; and, not from the bare belief, but from the glowing, sanctified inspiration of devout affection, holy desire and adoring faith, have sprung. In every age, those conceptions of heavenly things that appeal to the sympathies of modern as well as of ancient Christendom."
