520 2 # $a Here Rio attempts a critical evaluation of religious painting in Italy from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, arguing that it is not formal beauty but truth of religious sentiment that gives value to a work of art. The work led to a new appreciation of such painters as Orcagna, Fra Angelico and Carpaccio and depreciation of Florentine 'naturalist' painters of the 15th century and for a preference of the earlier to the later works of Raphael.

The De la poésie chrétienne, first published in 1836, was issued in an expanded edition as De L'Art Chrétien from 1861 to 1867. The work considerably influenced the thinking of the British critics, Lord Lindsay, Mrs. Jameson and John Ruskin.
