   Catholic beauty does not only blossom in the brilliance of the Catholic middle ages or in the magnificence of the Catholic Counter Reformation, it blooms also in the midst of the desert of modernity. One of the most exciting and powerful manifestations of such beauty arose in the Catholic Cultural Revival in England over the past two centuries. From its genesis in the rise of English Romanticism at the end of the eighteenth century to its crowning achievements in the middle of the twentieth century, the English Catholic Revival would produce some of the greatest artistic masterpieces of all time.
