Here is the third chapter of a new street art series dedicated to pictorial works with a religious background, from the early Middle Ages to the eighteenth century. After a focused research on paintings of the main European museums, our intent is to bring to new light these artworks which have indelibly marked the relationship between people and religious authority, instruments for the propagation of thought through superb mastery. A centuries-long journey has told of the divine, the eternal, the overcoming of earthly life through the idea of forgiveness, of consecration in the afterlife.
