The Catacomb School of Painting
This Roman Cemetery School of painting was to be soon replaced by the more accomplished Christian school of painting. They were however pleasing and venerable.
Byzantine Paintings
This school of painting was the true predecessor to what we now know as Christian Paintings. It originated in Greece and its sole purpose was the glorification of God and his son Jesu s. The focus of Byzantine art was images of God, Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, Saints and Martyrs . These paintings were soon seen as objects of Veneration in orthodox churches of Europe.
Christian Paintings in the Modern World
Over the years Christian Paintings have evoked the creative interest of many artists and today they are no longer just commissioned paintings. Individual artists have begun to devote all their talents to Christian Art with remarkable success. The first to do so was an artist called Ron DiCianni , whose 1992 pianting Spiritual Warfare was a roaring success. Other artists like Michael Dudash, Morgan Weistling, Chris Hopkins followed suit and a new sub genre of painting was created. With the success of these artists the commercalisation of Christian Paintings began, and today more and more people are bringing Christian Paintings to their homes and offices to show their appreciation for the genre and more importantly, out of love for the religion called Chritianity.
