Now available for the first time in the Oxford Paperback Reference series, the Dictionary of Christian Art is a fascinating exploration of the art and architecture that has been influenced and inspired by Christian history and beliefs. Combining general essays on the periods and styles important in the history of Christian art with many shorter entries that describe specific works, artists, themes, and visual images, the Dictionary permits a deep understanding the artistic creations this religious movement has inspired over the centuries. A vast storehouse of knowledge, the Dictionary weaves together general background on the Old and New Testaments and Christian tradition with the forms of art Christian beliefs have influenced. It includes a survey of the artists and architects moved by their Christian faith and a listing of the places and buildings where their art can be found. Furthermore, explanations of features of the Christian churches, sculpture, and painting are given deeper significance through the description of important saints, popes, rulers, and preachers of the Christian religion. Finally, the volume offers a glossary of architectural terms and a detailed bibliography to aid further inquiry into this captivating subject.
