Christian Art

A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

Edición de la obra Christian Art

Christian images have a long history within the Western art tradition, from the narrative and devotional works of the medieval and Renaissance periods, to the radical new interpretations of the twenty-first century. This fascinating new book decodes the key themes, signs, and symbols found in Christian art: the Eucharist, the image of the Crucifixion, the Virgin Mary, the Saints, Old and New Testament narrative imagery, and iconography. It also explores the theological and historical background of Christian imagery, from the devotional works of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, to the twenty-first century. - Publisher.
