Modern Art and the Death of a CultureRookmaaker, H. R.
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
In this magnificently illustrated book, Neil MacGregor considers the many ways in which artists, at different times and from different cultures, have presented the story of Christ and explains how the likeness of Jesus that we now all recognize has emerged.Focusing on images of Christ in high art ad popular craft throughout the world--in galleries, churches, museums private homes, catacombs, and market stalls--MacGregor traces the life of Christ and the development of Christian culture since his birth. He shows how some of the works reveal not only society's view of Christ and of itself but also the inner spiritual turmoil of their creators.
