Description
Explore the rich history and influence of Christian art from Antiquity to the present day. This comprehensive survey traces how art has reflected and stimulated a response to the teachings of Christ, and to Christian thought and experience across the ages.
A wide-ranging study that covers much of the history of art in the West and parts of the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australasia, Michelle Brown considers art from the earliest Christians to the modern day. The book features articles by invited contributors on subjects including Icons, Renaissance Florence, Rubens and the Counter-Reformation, Religious Folk Art, Jewish Artists, Christian Themes, Making the St John's Bible, and Christianity and Contemporary Art in North America.
