art for illiterati

a collection of the greatest baroque catholic art

curated by gabriel st-charles

Baroque. Beautiful. Brutally Honest.

Welcome to a different kind of art curation. No brushstroke analysis. No historical trivia.

Simply helping you to see.

These pieces don’t just hang pretty – they speak.

I focus especially on the golden age of sacred art – the Baroque Counter-Reformation, when the Church fought fire with fire, heresy with drama, doubt with beauty.

These artists weren’t decorating chapels. They were defending doctrine with light and shadow, with agony and ecstasy.

I am delighted to share this most cinematic, sacred, and emotional period of art history, and revealing how it still cuts straight to the soul today.

This isn’t just art history. It’s a mirror into your own faith, your culture, your contradictions.

The Illiterati Gallery isn’t just for art snobs.
It’s for those who want to feel something true.
