Thank you for showing me distinctions I only vaguely sensed before. The Velasquez crucifixion has long been a favorite of mine, and now I think I understand why a little better.

Thank you for this article. You have touched on a very important point for me and many others like me as a fine artist and Christian: the balancing of the truth of a fallen world as well as the hope of redemption in art. Idealism and realism together instead of elevating one and ignoring the other!
