Looking for sacred art...
I have Verbum's Treasury of Sacred Art, but was wondering if there are other resources offered by Logos that have sacred art?
I tried searching the website (using, e.g., 'art', 'sacred art', 'art media' 'painting'), but most of the results have to do with the arts in general.

Not to the best of my knowledge.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

https://verbum.com/product/37718/images-of-the-saints
https://www.logos.com/product/25699/holbeins-bible-woodcuts
This book also has quite a lot of sacred art in it:
https://www.logos.com/product/149268/in-the-beauty-of-holiness-art-and-the-bible-in-western-culture
As does this one:
https://www.logos.com/product/193522/bezalels-body-the-death-of-god-and-the-birth-of-art
There is also some sacred art in these monographs, with textual commentary:
https://www.logos.com/product/40512/the-christian-vision-of-god
https://www.logos.com/product/40508/creation
https://www.logos.com/product/40509/incarnation
https://www.logos.com/product/40510/redemption
https://www.logos.com/product/40511/resurrection
There is also some sacred art in this series (along with other images) amidst the text:
https://www.logos.com/product/3635/lion-histories-series
I'm always on the lookout for more to tag for my "GoodArt" collection in Logos. If you come across any others, let me know.
You might also want to consider voting for these resource suggestions that would contain tons of great sacred art. Logos needs much more!
The Old Testament Through 100 Masterpieces of Art
The New Testament Through 100 Masterpieces of Art
"A Guide to Imagery" series from J. Paul Getty Museum
Painting the Word: Christian Pictures and Their Meanings
The Illustrated Jesus Through the Centuries
The Dore Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy
Signs & Symbols in Christian Art
A Journey into Christian Art
Meeting God through Art: Visio Divina
A Guide to Christian Art
Seeing Salvation: Images of Christ in Art
How Catholic Art Saved the Faith: The Triumph of Beauty and Truth in Counter-Reformation Art

Thanks, Rosie! That's great. I'll definitely give those resource suggestions my vote.

If you are willing to look outside of Logos and know the name of the artist or the work then The Google Art Project is pretty impressive.
And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers (Mal 4:6a)

I usually start here: https://diglib.library.vanderbilt.edu/act-search.pl. Makes attribution simple and usually gives me something I can work with.

Another three you can vote for that weren't my suggestions, but are also worthy sources of sacred art:
The Art of Lent: A Painting a Day from Ash Wednesday to Easter by Sister Wendy Beckett
The Art of Holy Week and Easter: Meditations on the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus by Sister Wendy Beckett
Resurrecting Easter: How the West Lost and the East Kept the Original Easter Vision by John Dominic Crossan

Yes, though I prefer having stuff in the one place, I'm happy too look elsewhere too. Thanks!
