Religio Pictoris is a book written by Helen Bigelow Merriman and published in 1899. The book is a collection of essays that explore the religious significance and symbolism found in art, particularly in the works of the Old Masters. Merriman delves into the spiritual themes and messages conveyed through the use of color, composition, and subject matter in various paintings. She also examines the historical and cultural context in which these works were created and how they reflect the beliefs and values of the time. The book is written in a scholarly yet accessible style and includes numerous illustrations of the paintings discussed.
