About This Book

The volume surveys Christian legends and their pictorial representation, focusing on angels and archangels, the evangelists, apostles, church doctors, and Mary Magdalene. It explains origins and meanings of legends, distinguishes devotional from historical subjects, and examines attributes, emblems, patron saints, and colour symbolism as used by artists. The author interprets iconography through examples drawn from early Christian, medieval, and later works, compressing sources and traditions into readable narratives and aesthetic readings rather than theological analysis. Essays accompany numerous illustrations and practical guidance for recognizing types and tracing the evolution of devotional imagery across periods and regional schools.
