Modern Frescoes
Based on the article 'Modern Frescoes' I have developed this online gallery seeking to capture examples from around the world. I hope you find these modern frescoes inspiring. You are welcome to leave a comment below and share examples that you have encountered.
"How do we reach an uneducated, illiterate, unformed generation of young people who are missing the opportunity to discover the message of the Gospel? Frescoes by Corenzio in the Salerno Cathedral and other forms of art were able to communicate messages which transcended literature and language, helping to cross boundaries of evangelisation." What lessons can these masters teach us today?
In order to open new horizons for spreading the Joy of the Gospel we must consider the modes of expression. Pope Francis supports this in Evangelii Gaudium 41. At the same time, today’s vast and rapid cultural changes demands that we constantly seek ways of expressing unchanging truths in a language which brings about their abiding newness….“the deposit of faith is one thing, … the way it is expressed is another”
Where is the new stained glass in our cathedrals, are we looking in or out?
