Shelfworn untorn dust jacket. -- From coruscating Byzantine mosaics to Van Eyck's glorious Ghent Altarpiece to the Baroque splendor of Correggio's frescoes, an extraordinary array of masterpieces has been inspired by the symbolic prophecies of the Book of Revelation. But until now, there has been no systematic presentation and analysis of apocalyptic themes in Western art. In a book of rare visual magnificence, abundantly illustrated with over 80 color plates and 150 black-and-white reproductions, Frederick van der Meer examines the full spectrum of apocalyptic art: miniatures, stained glass, tapestries, illustrated manuscripts, sculpture, woodcuts, altarpieces, frescoes, and mosaics. His perceptive commentary sheds new light on how the artists responded to the formidable challenge of interpreting an elusively metaphorical Christian text. The inclusion of the complete text of the Book of Revelation, a comprehensive index of apocalyptic art works, a listing of major commentators and artists, and a glossary makes this book as authoritative as it is beautiful to behold.
