"… the world is a work of art, set before all for contemplation, so that through it the wisdom of Him who created it should be known …"

-- Basil, from Exegetical Works, On the Hexameron

Holstein Sea - Moonlight, 1847 (oil on canvas) by Haeselich, Johann Georg

"For those who feel it, nothing makes the soul so religious and pure as the endeavor to create something perfect; for God is perfection, and whoever strives after it, is striving after something divine. True painting is only the image of the perfection of God, a shadow of the pencil with which he paints, a melody, a striving after harmony."

-- Michelangelo
