In this episode, we dive into the story of the Nazarenes, a 19th-century art movement that sought to blend religious reverence with rebellion against the secular art trends of their time. These German artists, disillusioned with the Enlightenment’s influence, moved to Rome to reconnect with the spiritual depth of early Renaissance masters up to Raphael. We explore how their distinctive style of sharp contours and symbolic imagery pushed boundaries while honouring tradition, leaving a lasting impact on the art world’s spiritual dimension. Reflections on Grewe's The Nazarenes.
