Overview

“The mutual relations between art and religion—why not at once say art and Christ?—form a very attractive subject of thought.” In Religion in Recent Art, Forsyth examines artists from the nineteenth century Pre-Raphaelite movement whose work is religious in spirit and being. This includes Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, George Frederic Watts, William Holman Hunt, and Richard Wagner. “Whatever may be thought of the technique of these artists, they are distinct and peculiar in this—that they are prophets as well as painters, and to no small extent apostles and martyrs.”
