Description: What are the links between art and religion? Far from being outdated, this collection has generated intense debate during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, revolving around the quest for an ideal Christian art, the existence of a specific style, the faith of the artist, the question of the subject, instead of abstraction, etc. The book explores the different looks, sometimes contrasting, the Catholic world, in France, has carried on the art over the last two centuries.
