Its twelve chapters accompany readers on a transformative journey through some of the most significant works of the European tradition. Having first passed through the Door in the Sky of the Pantheon in Rome, we contemplate Christ in his Mandorla at Autun Cathedral, then meet Notre Dame in Paris as a stone, timber, and glass manifestation of the New Jerusalem. Each subsequent chapter furthers the adventure chronologically into hidden dimensions of painting, sculpture, and architecture, by the likes of Piero della Francesca, Botticelli, Donatello, Michelangelo, Titian, Palladio, William Blake, van Gogh, and C騷anne. We are awakened stepwise to wonders forming a soul-making ladder for the contemplative spectator or reader. Here we have a crack at answering W.B. Yeats's query: How can art bring the soul of man to God? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621389545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621389545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Angelico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Edward Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44584248082687,"sku":"9781621389545","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed03bcd9-fa31-449f-a0c6-6d969b45b550.jpg?v=1701886088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-secret-mind-of-art-edward-clarke-9781621389545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
