Zusammenfassung: | "Surveying the content and character of early Christian iconography from the third to the sixth century CE, this substantially revised and updated new edition of Understanding Early Christian Art makes the critical tools of art historians accessible to students. It opens by discussing a series of questions pertaining to the evidence itself and how scholars through the centuries have regarded this material as expressing and transmitting aspects of the developing faith and practice of early adherents of Christianity. It considers possible sources for the various motifs and the complex relationship between word and images, as well as the importance of studying visual and material culture alongside theological and liturgical texts. Rather than organising surviving examples by medium or chronology, the chapters categorize the evidence according to their general iconographic type, such as generic symbols, biblical narratives, and portraits. Each chapter takes up important questions of visual culture, formal style, and the ways in which the iconography is distinct from or shows parallels with contemporary documentary sources like sermons, exegetical works, catechetical lectures, or dogmatic treatises. Concluding with a discussion of the late-emerging depictions of Jesus's crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, it remains a valuable guide to comprehending the complex theology, history, and context of Christian art. Augmented by over 140 full-colour images, accompanied by parallel text, the interdisciplinary and boundary-breaking approach taken in this extensively revised edition of Understanding Early Christian Art enables students and scholars in fields such as religion and art history to further their understanding and knowledge of the art of the early Christian era"-- |

Jensen Second edition London ; New York Routledge 2024 xxiii, 266 Seiten Illustrationen txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Understanding the ancient world "Surveying the content and character of early Christian iconography from the third to the sixth century CE, this substantially revised and updated new edition of Understanding Early Christian Art makes the critical tools of art historians accessible to students. It opens by discussing a series of questions pertaining to the evidence itself and how scholars through the centuries have regarded this material as expressing and transmitting aspects of the developing faith and practice of early adherents of Christianity. It considers possible sources for the various motifs and the complex relationship between word and images, as well as the importance of studying visual and material culture alongside theological and liturgical texts. Rather than organising surviving examples by medium or chronology, the chapters categorize the evidence according to their general iconographic type, such as generic symbols, biblical narratives, and portraits. Each chapter takes up important questions of visual culture, formal style, and the ways in which the iconography is distinct from or shows parallels with contemporary documentary sources like sermons, exegetical works, catechetical lectures, or dogmatic treatises. Concluding with a discussion of the late-emerging depictions of Jesus's crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, it remains a valuable guide to comprehending the complex theology, history, and context of Christian art. Augmented by over 140 full-colour images, accompanied by parallel text, the interdisciplinary and boundary-breaking approach taken in this extensively revised edition of Understanding Early Christian Art enables students and scholars in fields such as religion and art history to further their understanding and knowledge of the art of the early Christian era"-- Jesus Christus (DE-588)118557513 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 250-600 gnd rswk-swf Trinität (DE-588)4060909-1 gnd rswk-swf Kruzifix (DE-588)4033320-6 gnd rswk-swf Christliche Kunst (DE-588)4010109-5 gnd rswk-swf Spätantike (DE-588)4124227-0 gnd rswk-swf Frühchristentum (DE-588)4129954-1 gnd rswk-swf Symbolik (DE-588)4184194-3 gnd rswk-swf Christian art and symbolism / To 500 Art, Early Christian Christian art and symbolism To 500 Christliche Archäologie (DE-2581)TH000005826 gbd Christliche Kunstgeschichte (DE-2581)TH000005827 gbd Spätantike & frühchristliche Kunst (DE-2581)TH000008137 gbd Spätantike (DE-588)4124227-0 s Frühchristentum (DE-588)4129954-1 s Symbolik (DE-588)4184194-3 s Jesus Christus (DE-588)118557513 p Kruzifix (DE-588)4033320-6 s Trinität (DE-588)4060909-1 s Christliche Kunst (DE-588)4010109-5 s Geschichte 250-600 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-003-21609-4 Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034573602&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
