Commonly recognized masterpieces include Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper,' Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Adam' on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and Caravaggio's 'The Calling of Saint Matthew.'

Many are housed in churches, cathedrals, or museums—for example, 'The Last Supper' is in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, and 'The Creation of Adam' is in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel.

They often depict biblical scenes such as the Nativity, Crucifixion, and Resurrection, as well as figures like Jesus, Mary, and the saints, emphasizing faith, redemption, and divine glory.

Christian art not only served religious instruction and devotion but also drove major artistic innovations, particularly during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, influencing Western art for centuries.

Notable artists include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt, each contributing works that remain iconic in both religious and art historical contexts.
