From Evening Church in 1830 by Samuel Palmer to The Village of Kineton, Warwickshire in 1885-1887 by an unknown artist, each piece tells its own story. In My First Sermon (1863) and My Second Sermon (1864), John Everett Millais captures the essence of religious devotion with his masterful brushstrokes.
