Belief and
Unbelief in Paintings To know the
different effects of belief and unbelief in relation to Jesus Christ, we need only turn to
art and compare the same subject treated by different mensay the
Crucifixion or Descent from the Cross by Fra Angelico and by
Rubens. The picture of Fra Angelico and by it never painted Christ upon the Cross without
tears, and never took up his brush without prayer, is full of saintliness and love. From a
technical standpoint it is far from perfect but such criticism is forgotten in the depth
of pathos and of holy sacrificial love which the painting suggests. James Burns
