...Christian homes, there is seldom anything at all?





I find it a matter of great curiosity, for want of a better way of putting it.





There are available wonderful art prints that would grace a Christian home, especially Italian paintings, Italy being a bastion of Christianity.





One of my favourite painters is Fra Angelico.


His series of musical angels is absolutely beautiful and make a lovely set together on


a wall -- or even one is lovely. One is of an


angel with a trumpet, another with a drum, a third with a violin; there are more of them...


(they would make a great present!)





Also (Fra Angelico, still)


The Annunciation, circa 1430-32


Detail of Heaven; The Last Judgment


....both simply beautiful





I should think that one might at least hang some lovely prints in the front hallway, and put a vase of flowers and a pretty lamp. One needs to grace one's home in some way, isn't it so?


Art lends a lovely aura all its own.





Peace %26amp; Love

For Indian's paintings and pieces of art related to religion have a much more spiritual significance than mere decoration purposes. For Indians, mainly Hindu's it is a symbolic form of worship. these art decorations have deeper meaning in their everyday life
Reply:You WILL find articles of religious art in Catholic homes.





At the time of the Protestant Reformation, many Catholic customs and traditions were discharded as a sign of protest against Catholicism. Many beautifu customs and traditions that enhance the practice of faith were discarded. What a shame.
Reply:I see many `domestic` representations of Christian `Art`. They are usually of the sacred heart variety, or various haloed icons. Be honest,Christian religion is `about itself`, and most of its art endorses that belief system, it does not promote aestheticism or any form of artistic movement. The church has traditionally purchased any art it wished to promote its own `images`. For this reason secular art is commonplace, whereas Christian art is dated and`gloomy`, and largely ignored in modern homes.
Reply:You have never been in an Italian or Mexican home.


The Protestant christian consider objects of art to be Idols and such.
Reply:as a pagan household we have many religious artwork pieces around the home. You may find that there are many in their homes just very personal to them.
Reply:You are mainly thinking of these objects as decoration. For the Indians they are a sign of respect %26amp; tribute to the region they honour.
