Keywords:
art, theological aesthetics, phenomenology of religion, Gerardus van der Leeuw, the holyAbstract
This paper analyses the relation between art and the holy proposed by Gerardus van der Leeuw on his work Sacred and Profane Beauty. The Holy in Art. He begins with a phenomenological description of art contextualised in different traditions taken from the History of Religion, establishes the structures that articulate this relation, and propose a general theological aesthetics developed from the doctrine of the image of God, in order to determine how art can convey the holy.
