Sacred Art at Saint Sulpice

In this episode, we explore the evolution of religious art in France from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, focusing on the transition from Saint Sulpice’s vibrant, mass-produced statues to the minimalist forms of modern sacred art. We discuss how figures like Maurice Denis and Father Couturier grappled with tradition and innovation, balancing religious expression with artistic change. Discover how these shifts reflected deeper social and spiritual tensions in a rapidly modernizing world, reshaping the visual language of faith.
