Introducing the Friday Sacred Art Goodie-bag

A weekly short post of art pics and miscellany

Our Lady of Mercy, c. 1500. Part of an altarpiece preserved in the Orte diocesan museum of sacred art. More pics below the paywall…Join us!

I’ve been toying with this idea for a while of adding a weekly post, on Fridays, of mostly art for paid members. Nothing complicated, nothing didactic. Minimal typing; just good pics and interesting random stuff. And I think I’d include a mini-feature a week on contemporary works, as much as possible by people who are still alive. I think its helpful to see that there is a genuine restoration work happening in the Christian art world.

And maybe we’ll add some links to some of the places where we can see some of the great works in high def images (the best museums are all doing this now).

Anything light and easy on the eyes that catches my attention through the week during my internet roaming. I’ll create a file and stash stuff in it as I pfaff about on the internet and pass the good bits along to you on Fridays.

I’d like to include some of the interesting and helpful YT videos and channels I find too.

And I can use it as a place to put reader polls, housekeeping notes and announcements “above the fold” - that is, for free to everyone - with the pics and things below. Basically just a place for the random bits and bobs, short unused video clips on my phone that don’t make the cut for the larger posts, an occasional commentary video… that sort of thing.

One of which is…

Podcasts for paid members are coming! Next week. Our first guest will be someone you probably know, but I’m not telling… It’s a surprise.

Yes, that’s me. Yes, I was surprised too.

It’s just that there’s so dang much out there, loads and loads going on and it’s all wonderful. I think it would really cheer people up, and it would be fun for me.

The Sacred Images Project is a reader-supported publication. This means there are no ads, pop-ups or any algorithm watching you like Big Brother. But it also means there’s no advert revenue to keep me and the kitties in tea and biscuits.
