How Catholic Art Saved the Faith

Elizabeth Lev •

Elizabeth Lev, art historian and author of “How Catholic Art Saved the Faith: The Triumph of Beauty and Truth in Counter-Reformation Art,” joins Cy to discuss the life-changing impact that Catholic restoration art had on the faithful during the tumult and aftermath of the Protestant Reformation. While Protestantism threatened to destroy sacramental life, Catholic art affirmed the truth found in the sacraments, calling the faithful to deeper relationship with the Church that Christ founded.

Questions Covered:

  • 20:36 - How did Artemisia Genteleschi contribute as a woman to art in this period?
