Product Description

""Symbols and Emblems of Early and Mediaeval Christian Art"" by Louisa Twining is a comprehensive guide to the various symbols and emblems used in Christian art during the early and medieval periods. The book explores the meaning and significance of these symbols, which range from biblical figures and events to animals and plants, and how they were used in religious art to convey theological concepts and ideas. With over 300 illustrations and detailed explanations, this book is an invaluable resource for art historians, theologians, and anyone interested in the history and symbolism of Christian art.1885. Illustrated with 92 plates. The book's purpose is to collect and arrange, in chronological order, the principal forms that have been used symbolically in the different periods of Art. Its chief aim is to lead to a better understanding of the many treasures of Art and Antiquity that are to be found wherever our wanderings may lead us, by assisting persons to read their meaning and to look through the Symbol to the thing signified by it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
