religious aesthetics

[prismaticbleed]

godmechanic:

whats everybody’s favorite religious art trope. mine is the annunciation hands down

 

HEARTS (esp. starkly exposed and/or glowing), powerfully expressed emotions, Christ’s Passion & wounds, unusual art styles (esp. vaporwave/ “web art” edits), art that is more “symbol” than scene, halos in unusual colors & designs, colorful angel wings, SERAPHIM, those little childlike angels that appear in paintings to ‘comment on’ the scene, those other angels that appear to specifically comfort Christ (AND catch the Blood of Christ in chalices), the Hand of God, and the Eucharist represented as kissing Jesus.

Some examples!

 
  

Basically, if it breaks my heart open to God in some way, I love it.
