Paintings & Drawings
Paintings and drawings are visual arts that use color, line, and tone to depict people, places, stories, and ideas. Materials range from pigments on walls, panels, and canvas to ink, chalk, and graphite on paper. Sacred narratives, portraits, landscapes, and daily life connect these arts with worship, memory, patronage, and observation. Renaissance figure studies, Dutch interiors, and nineteenth-century landscapes show how composition and technique served the subjects and traditions of their time.

Sacred Narrative from Giotto to Rembrandt
Sacred stories took different forms in chapel frescoes, monastic wall paintings, and pictures on canvas. Giotto's Arena Chapel frescoes and Fra Angelico's San Marco scenes placed Christian narratives in chapel and convent settings, while Leonardo's Last Supper gathered the apostles' responses around Christ. Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus and Rembrandt's Belshazzar's Feast used gesture and concentrated light to make moments of recognition or alarm visible.
