Traditional Western Christian art is still being made and appreciated throughout the world. On September 20, 2014, the oratory Santa María Reina of the Hermandad de las Penas in Málaga, Andalusia, (one of the numerous Brotherhoods responsible for Holy Week and other processions in Spain), opened its new painted ceiling to public view and the Blessing of the priest who is the diocesan delegate for Brotherhoods and Confraternities. It does not matter if it is or is not an epoch-making masterpiece, or that it may or not include elements of pastiche, what matters is that Western art forms be not lost and that this suicidal self-hatred of Western European Civilization, including in the visual arts, be abandoned for good -- the epoch-making masterpieces will eventually show up, as they always did.


The work is by local artist Raúl Berzosa. Congratulations to him on this beautiful new work clearly made with great love and respect for the venerable artistic traditions of Catholic Spain, and to the Cofradía for its commission.

That is very nice and actually seems to have something special stemming from the collective detail of colors and figures.

In general it is difficult to find a new expression in Christian art after 2.000 years. But that does not mean that pleasing and even novel work does not come forward.

Thanks for linking it

Such vibrant colors, I have to think that must have been what some of the early works looked like before centuries of age and smoke.
Thanks for posting, it really is a magnificent work!
