"I find still that there are only so many paintings of Jesus and martyred saints I can look at consecutively before my eyes glaze over"
Heh, that I can believe. Fortunately there's a lot of other sacred visual art to view, for example, look at the many depictions of the archangel Michael over the years in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel)
One thing I find very interesting about these works is the application of a society's current aesthetics in depicting a figure from a fixed, much earlier time.
