How to Buy Christian Art

Some of the finest works of history's greatest artists have been renderings of famous scenes from the Bible, and many fine contemporary artists also use the symbols and themes of Christianity in their work. For a Christian believer, owning such art can be a satisfying experience that transcends simple decoration and becomes a source of comfort and contemplation of faith.

      Research Christian artists and artwork on the Internet and get a feel for what is available. Do you want a reproduction of a Renaissance oil painting, a symbolic piece, or perhaps a sculpture? You'll probably find that there are one or more artists out there whose work speaks especially to your soul.

      Contemplate your favorites until you feel a sense of peace and certainty about your choice. You may, of course, even put the matter before the Lord in prayer. If the art will hang in a shared area of your home, you may wish to consult other family members.
