Cura Religionis is a 1747 oil by Johan Pasch, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting features a collection of objects, including a helmet, a sword, and a book, arranged in front of a draped curtain. The objects are set against a backdrop of a landscape, with trees and a sky visible in the distance. The painting is rendered in muted colors, with the objects and curtain depicted in shades of blue, gold, and brown. The overall effect is one of somberness and contemplation. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the painting's dramatic effect.
