Protestant Art

The Protestant Church, like the Catholic, sets the highest possible historical standards for beauty and craftsmanship in religious art. One must think only of powerful personal visions of the Gospels created by Rembrandt or the ardent piety of Vincent van Gogh. The Protestant Church, in keeping with its historical break from traditional forms of worship, often calls upon the liturgical artist to create imagery of great originality with little or no traditional precedent.
