The artists and those who are interested in visual arts have their own idea of the Bible: after all, it served as a source of plots for the innumerable set of works of painting, graphics and sculptures created throughout a huge, almost two thousand -year -old, historical period. The biblical stories received a visual form in thousands of sculptures, frescoes, icons, paintings, drawings and engravings. Each such work offers its version of the plot gleaned from the Bible, the originality of which is determined by the personality and giftedness of the artist who was under the influence of the great many factors of the social and cultural life of his country and his era. This colorful, widely illustrated book is designed to tell about this.
Reproductions of paintings on the themes of the Holy Scriptures, created by the great masters of the past and carefully stored in museums around the world, are accompanied by quotes from the Bible and copyright comments.
For a wide range of readers.
