Andres Serrano, whowas recently in the news after his work Piss Christ was vandalized by Catholicradicals in Avignon, has reinterpreted and recreated medieval and Renaissancereligious paintings. The artist has often been called "a modernCaravaggio" and this series of works seems to respond to thisclassification, as Serrano is one of the rare contemporary artists who hasdared to broach religious themes and the iconography of the history ofreligious art. "I not only believe in God, I believe in religious art andthe beauty and power of such art. This is why I created this work.
