If you live in the USA, you might think it necessary to travel to Europe to see a wide variety of classic religious art by the "masters" such as Da Vinci, El Greco, and others. Visitors flock to old world European churches and the Vatican museums to take in their masterpieces, and for good reason.
But did you know that there are museums in the United States that have a large number of classic religious paintings on display, often brought in from Italy, Spain, and elsewhere? It's easier than you might think to view sacred art in person without visiting Rome or the churches of Europe.
The Catholic Shop team visited the National Gallery in Washington, DC, and we were absolutely stunned by the sheer number and quality of religious paintings on display. Here are a few of the photos we took on this adventure into the beautiful art of the old world.
