lives of the saints through 100 masterpieces
1 online resource (ix, 223 pages :) : color illustrations
"Designed to look beyond the artistic merit of the 100 depictions of Christian saints reproduced here -- often well known to us as visual images -- to discuss the meanings behind them. Brief descriptions of each piece recount the stories they represent and explain, further, the relevant religious, historical, and cultural context"--
Jacques Duquesne and François Lebrette ; translated by M. Cristina Borges.
