The Hebrew Bible and art reside at the core of this book, which
analyzes the iconographic representation of several women of the
Bible. The contributors consider the ways in which the biblical
texts regarding these women had been read and understood throughout
time and the means by which they were represented. Each study also
explores the different values associated with these representations
according to the problems, worries and concerns of each period.
Drawing upon disciplines such as theology, philology or history of
art, the essays within this volume provide a cross-sectional,
plural and rich approach. In focusing upon iconographic
representation, numerous visual cultures of the last millennium are
explored, and special emphasis is placed upon several integral
biblical women such as Bathsheba, Moses' mother, the Pharaoh's
Daughter, Ruth, Naomi and Deborah, and their lasting influence upon
Western art and culture. This book pursues an understanding of the
history of the transmission and reception of the Bible in general,
and of the women of the Old Testament in particular.
