Protestant viewpoint
• Humans are made in God’s image. Therefore, all scenes of secular life are valid subjects for art
• Portraits• Iconoclastic movements• Glorify God through the
beauty of his creations
Catholic viewpoint
• Council of Trent (1563)• Focus on religious scenes
and allegories• Veneration paid to the
