Christian saints have been the objects of reverence and fascination
throughout the past two millennia. Their likenesses, heroic acts,
prayerful lives, and stories of martyrdom have been portrayed
frequently in art of diverse media. Unfamiliar with the saints and
their images and symbols, viewers of art may find it challenging to
identify, for example, which saint is represented as a monk with an
axe through his head, or a beautiful girl holding a wheel, or a
woman carrying her eyes on a plate.
From Agatha to Zeno, Francis of Assisi to Mary Magdalene, Saints
in Arti presents the characteristic features of more than one
hundred saints often encountered in sacred Western art. Each saint
is introduced by a practical list of his or her unique attributes.
Entries also include notes on the saints' lives and a series of
visual references to help the reader recognize these exemplary
figures, their histories, and their special devotions. This useful
resource is illustrated with a stunning collection of masterpieces.
