内容説明・目次

内容説明

A companion volume to James Hall's "Dictionary of Subjects and Symbols in Art", which deals with Christian and Western art, this work includes the art of Egypt, the ancient Near East, Christian and classical Europe, India, and the Far East. It explores the language of symbols in art, showing how paintings, drawings and sculpture express many shades of meaning from simple, everyday hopes and fears to the profoundest philosophical and religious aspirations.
