Art and the Christian Apocrypha Hardcover - 2001 - 1st Edition

by David R. Cartlidge; J. Keith Elliot


From the publisher

The Christian canon of scripture, known as the New Testament, excluded many of the Church's traditional stories about its origins. Although not in the Bible, these popular stories have had a powerful influence on the Church's traditions and theology, and a particularly marked effect on visual representations of Christian belief. This book provides a lucid introduction to the relationship between the apocryphal texts and the paintings, mosaics, and sculpture in which they are frequently paralleled, and which have been so significant in transmitting these non-Biblical stories to generations of churchgoers.

First line

Where parallels exist between a pictorial representation of a scene and a written form, it is tempting to assume that the artist has been inspired and influenced either directly from the literary source or indirectly from his having heard a story from a literary antecedent.
