VI. Truth, Beauty, and Sacred Art

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2502
Sacred art is true and beautiful when its form corresponds to its particular
vocation: evoking and glorifying, in faith and adoration, the transcendent mystery
of God – the surpassing invisible beauty of truth and love visible in Christ,
who “reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his
nature,” in whom “the whole fullness of deity dwells
bodily.”²⁹⁶ This spiritual beauty of God is reflected in the most
holy Virgin Mother of God, the angels, and saints. Genuine sacred art draws man
to adoration, to prayer, and to the love of God, Creator and Savior, the Holy
One and Sanctifier.
