Religious -
Religious paintings reflect a dramatic imagination and interest
in moral values. Many religious paintings symbolize the real religious
spirit in an undoubted power. Religious paintings often involve
depictions of biblical tales, religious institutions, religious
embodiments and the like. Over these years religious paintings have
developed a style of their own.
Artists like William Adolphe, Sanzio Raphael, Michelangelo, William
Blake, El Greco, Alessandro Botticelli, Paul Gauguin etc have
proved their skill beyond explanation through creative expressions
of the well established religious notions. In abstract, modern
and realistic forms, painters have contributed to the religious
painting in a specific style. A touch of impressionism is also
seen in the paintings of the artists who have followed the path
of their impressionist heads.

The religious paintings depict symbols, human emotions and movements
in a varied and distinct style in order to narrate the story behind
their present condition. ‘The Head of Christ’ is one
such painting by Van Rijn which portrays Christ’s sentiments
in different emotional dimensions.
Most of the religious paintings concentrate on consequences of
sin, symbolic intricacies of religious patrons and outrageous
depictions of the deadly souls who were considered saints. This
evokes a kind of religious sentiment on the part of the onlooker
and determines a religious spirit with an emotional fortitude.
Religious painting is thus, a skilful way of presenting images
and feelings in a proficient way. It strengthens images and depicts
movements in a way that is real and spiritually inducing.
