blog writing #review of the book “the sacred made real: spanish painting and sculpture 1600–1700”

After reading the article “The Sacred Made Real: Spanish Painting and Sculpture 1600–1700” edited by Xavier Bray, I noted that it majorly focuses on the exploration of Spanish art during the 17th century, particularly the intersection of painting and sculpture in religious depictions. The editor, Bray adopts a comprehensive approach in dissecting the complex relationship between these two artistic forms, exploring the profound religious and cultural contexts that shaped the creation of sacred art in Spain. Bray argues that during this period, Spanish artists skillfully blurred the boundaries between the visual and the tangible, transcending conventional artistic norms to evoke a heightened sense of spirituality.
