Abstract:Italian Renaissance witnessed large amounts of remarkable religious artworks, and some even represented that period, indicating the wealth of some people turned to luxurious religious articles. From the 14th to the 16th century, the religious artworks evolved from religious necessities, religious ornaments to religious luxuries with main purposes of being doctrine publicity, authority demonstration and cultural inheritance respectively. The power for such development mainly includes two factors: the first is the sustainable development of European traditional culture with Christian culture at the core, in which classicism and humanism played important but auxiliary roles; the second is the development trend of Christian faith with doctrine popularized, service offering-oriented, and church secularized, in which the dogmatic theology of Christianity played an crucial guiding role. Religious luxuries held an important place among the artworks in Italian Renaissance, which indicates at least two points: religious faith could integrate with secular culture and further create and promote the cultural prosperity of that time; religious luxuries could take in some social wealth and further inherit and preserve the national cultural heritage.
