Grabar looks at the most characteristic examples of paleo-Christian iconography, dwelling on their nature, form, and content. He explores the limits of originality in such art, its debt to figurative art, and the broader cultural climate in the Roman Empire, drawing a distinction between expressive images--that is, genuine works of art--and informative ones. Throughout, Grabar establishes the importance of imperial iconography in the development of Christian portraits and sheds light on the role they played alongside other forms of Christian piety in their day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e André Grabar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691252084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691252087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.80w x 1.00d","brand":"André Grabar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372564369663,"sku":"9780691252087","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9b6412e-7115-4963-93f5-4544efb8e7ba.jpg?v=1732726319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christian-iconography-andrzs-grabar-9780691252087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
