The book investigates the aesthetic theology embedded in the Franciscan artistic tradition. The novelty of the approach is in applying concepts gleaned from Franciscan textual sources to create a deeper understanding of how art in all its sensual forms was foundational to the Franciscan milieu. Chapters range from studies of statements about aesthetics and the arts in theological textual sources to examples of visual, auditory, and tactile arts communicating theological ideas found in texts. The essays cover not only European art and textual sources, but also Franciscan influences in the Americas found in both texts and artifacts.

A beautifully illustrated volume which explores one of the central
themes of Christian Art: Christ as the Man of Sorrows, "Passion in
Venice: Crivelli to Tintoretto and Veronese" draws on works by some
of the of the greatest names in Venetian painting including
Veronese, Tintoretto, Crivelli, Giambono and the Bassano family. It
creates a new and illuminating context for these great masters by
considering their work alongside contemporary works in other media,
and from other parts of Western Europe, including Tuscany, France,
Spain, Germany and the Netherlands.
