# List of Catholic artists

This list of Catholic artists concerns artists known, at least in part, for their works of religious Catholic art. It also includes artists whose position as a Roman Catholic priest or missionary was vital to their artistic works or development. It primarily features artists who did at least some of their artwork for Catholic churches, including Eastern Catholic Churches in communion with the Pope.
Note that this is not a list of all artists who have ever been members of the Catholic Church. Further, seeing as many to most Western European artists from the 5th century to the Protestant Reformation did at least some Catholic religious art, this list will supplement by linking to lists of artists of those eras rather than focusing on names of those eras.
