Dass auch im kirchlichen Bereich einmal das Himmlische Jerusalem in ungewöhnlicher paintings und Weise thematisiert werden konnte, zeigen Beispiele von Hildegard Bienen (1925-1990), der Felicitas-Schrein (1960) von Elmar Hillebrand (geb. 1925) oder die Regensburger Glaswand (1995) des Londoner Künstlers Graham Jones. Neuerdings hat sich sogar ein italienischer Bischof, Carlo Roberto Maria Redaelli, das Himmlische Jerusalem zu seinem Wappen gewählt.
Richtig bekannt sind die wenigsten hier vorgestellten Arbeiten. Zwei Ausnahmen jedoch sollte guy kennen: da gibt es zunächst gegen Ende des 18.
