Utrecht, Netherlands
Museum Catharijneconvent

Telling of the history of Christianity in the Netherlands.

More than the museum housing lavish artworks, humble feelings are quick to propagate, as if commanded by a higher power, in reverence of the Christian religion practised in the Netherlands as faith manifested in the physics forms of painting, sculpture, and objects constructed of metal, ceramic and stone. Much like the Bible, the art that inhabit the grand halls tell of the sacred teachings of Christianity and of the sacrifices of the believers and disciples of the Christian faith, only it is a tapestry containing religious events told in the language of vivacious variegated colours, glided ornate carvings, and carvings in hardness, painted, sculpted and engraved by the sheer will of pious men who effusively believed in the teachings of Jesus Christ for posterity’s salvation and redemption. Beyond the cross, church, the pews within it and the good book, a history of tragedy brought on by fellow men, practised altruism towards fellow men, and the origins of the promise of hope in the afterlife, in all of its holy, incandescent glory bequeathed by the word of heaven’s ruler through his only son, can be experienced in every richness of a different, ascetic sort.
