The Old Testament Through 100 Masterpieces of Art

Over the centuries, artists have sought to match the vividness, grandeur, and humanity of the Old Testament stories, creating a treasury of images for future generations. This collection of one hundred masterpieces draws together some of the most celebrated and resonant of these paintings. From Rembrandt's blending of the divine and the human in Jacob's Blessing to the drama of Tintoretto's Moses Striking the Rock, these works allow the reader to become immersed in the grand and universal themes of one of civilization's oldest narratives.
Accompanying each painting is a concise retelling of the Old Testament story that inspired the work. Many of the images are also supported by a brief commentary on how the episode is traditionally depicted, offering an introduction to the understanding and interpretation of biblical art. In combining images with accessible commentaries, The Old Testament Through 100 Masterpieces of Art provides a resource for students, museum visitors, and anyone interested in the relationship between art and religion in Western culture.
