A woman, representing the church itself, places one foot atop a globe, while in the foreground the cornerstone of the church crushes the serpent of evil. Vermeer converted to Catholicism before his marriage, and this painting, which includes a table laden with chalice, missal, and crucifix, may also refer to the celebration of the Mass in \"hidden churches\" within private homes. The Crucifixion scene in the background is based on a painting in Vermeer’s collection by the Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437877\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Allegory of the Catholic Faith\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johannes Vermeer","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887836700915,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (45\" x 35\")","offer_id":49887836733683,"sku":null,"price":2520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/4\" x 15 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887836766451,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 7\/8\" x 19 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887836799219,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 3\/8\" x 23 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887836831987,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 1\/4\" x 30 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887836864755,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 1\/8\" x 36 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887836897523,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 1\/2\" x 43 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887836930291,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 5\/8\" x 51 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887836963059,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AllegoryoftheCatholicFaith.jpg?v=1783718609","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/allegory-of-the-catholic-faith","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
