Gold Wall Art

When one thinks of wealth and money, one usually has images of gold come to mind. This is no coincidence, either. Gold has been the standard in wealth for thousands of years. In fact, since the beginning of civilization it has been highly sought after. Therefore, it is no wonder that it would become a wonderful motif for great art throughout the ages.

As we look through a collection of gold art, we begin to see certain patterns emerge. This is especially true when we look at older art such as the pieces from the Vatican Collection. These powerful gold art pieces display a time of great power in the Catholic Church. These pieces are representative of a time in which great cathedrals were built. These great cathedrals were designed by the best architects and artists of the time and many still stand today.
