Pat Sloane writes that the only subjects attributed to Saint Luke
were pictures of the holy family and suggests that this would be
inconsistant with Luke being a practicing artist because, if he were, he
would surely have others that could act as subject matter. However,I feel
this would be unlikly. If Luke were an artist, and I cannot comment here;
I'm not an art historian in any way, shape or form, who else would be worth
painting at the time? Saints, as we know them today can't have existed and
therefore it would surely be unwise to theorise that the ultimate aim of
art was to depict Christ based on works attributed to Saint Luke.
