06:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)I know Bingzhen wasn't a priest or a worker in religious art, but he was involved in a significant theological dispute. If there's complaints, and this survives, I'll remove him.--T. Anthony 18:30, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for wrongdebate[edit]

This article survived an Articles for Deletion debate. The discussion can be found here. -Splashtalk 21:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Consider a renaming of article to something that expresses that their art has been INFLUENCED by Roman Catholicism?? Antidote 22:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Something like List of Catholic artists who's work reflect Catholicism but obviously shortened. Antidote 22:54, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm.. let me think.. shortened.. maybe shortened to something like.. "List of Catholic artists"? ... :3 -Silence 23:41, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I will consider that in truth. Although I'll need to think of a name that doesn't sound too awkward, POV, or wordy. As it's technically Monday I intend to be down for about a week here soon.--T. Anthony 06:27, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I changed it to "List of Catholic religious artists," which isn't great, but does describe that these are workers in religious art.--T. Anthony 06:30, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to change it again, I'm not satisfied with this name.--T. Anthony 06:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think most of the names here fit this current title.--T. Anthony 06:42, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Current artists?[edit]

I think there's a big gap when it comes to current artists on this that probably needs to be filled. Anyone know any major Catholic church artists of the post-1900 period?--T. Anthony 07:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Georges Rouault comes to mind, and surely Salvador Dali, who became very Catholic after the WWII and painted many largescale religious compositions. Anchorite 15:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Renominate this entry for deletion[edit]

There are over 500 entries alone for Italian artists from 1300-1700; nearly all painted art for Roman Catholic churches. For over 75%, this was either their sole, main, or master output.

If you add all the spanish artists from 1300-1800, the list starts becoming meaningless. CARAVAGGISTI 06:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's been thousands of sculptors in history, but we have List of sculptors. "I hate lists" is not itself a reason for deletion.--T. Anthony 16:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Allegory of Faith is specifically Catholic and his wife was Catholic, but I guess there's some uncertainty on his views. Should I add him or not? (I decided not to add Matisse for now)--T. Anthony (talk) 08:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should architects be in a different list?[edit]

I get the sense architects are possibly part-engineers or a different thing. Any feelings there?--T. Anthony (talk) 12:50, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Winding down[edit]

I think I've really dominated the editing since April and I have been the main driver in it expanding ten-fold. I was going to just keep going and going with plans to add more Catholics who: Painted or sculpted the Assumption of Mary, were Caravaggisti, or were Counter-Reformation artists. However it's become really large and maybe I should step back a bit. I may still add names occasionally, but mostly I intend to reduce my involvement and I hope others can do many of the notable names I still might have missed.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:57, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of Roman Catholic Church artistsList of Catholic artists – More simple, according to its very lead paragraph, as well as per WP:Consistency with List of Catholic authors, List of Catholic philosophers and theologians, etc.. Chicbyaccident (talk) 13:38, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - there is more than one "Catholic" Church. The list appears to be about artists who have created artistic works for a specific Church, the Roman Catholic Church, not artists who are Catholics. I actually have doubts this list should exist at all. Until the modern era. being an artist was synonymous with producing works for the Church. The list might as well contain every known artist from this period. It is like having a "list of 21st-century authors who have published works online". I find the contents of some of those other lists you cite very troubling - there is currently a strong move against having the (often merely alleged) religious affiliation of individuals mentioned in infoboxes unless that religious affiliation has been stated by the subject and has played a strong part in the things that made that individual notable. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 15:34, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose move as suggested, but support getting rid of "Church". Keep it at Roman Catholic for now. All of the artists appear to be Roman Catholic at first glance, so the name wouldn't be violating any NPOV or regional sensitivities. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why would this article differ from the format in the other equivalent lists, please? Chicbyaccident (talk) 08:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
