Schleiermacher has highlighted the relationship between art and religion. This contribution explores its different aspects, from the undifferentiated prehistory of this field to its most contemporary manifestations. The relationship between art and religion is such that they apply to the same types of sensitivity and set of the same primordial intuition. On both sides, this intuition results in arrangements which steps are sensibly identical and which account for the believers’ reference to God. Not a less decisive step is the reception (or reading). Anyway, arts and religions are capable of the best as well as the worst.
