Sacred Art — Complete Collection: Five Foundational Works
From Byzantine iconography to Christian archaeology in Palestine, from Easter in art to Russian icons: an essential library for understanding the visual language of faith.
Sacred Art — Complete Collection
AA.VV. — Ravegnani · Bagatti · Boespflug · Dossier Bizantino · Icone
Christian sacred art is not ornament: it is theology in visible form. Every mosaic, every icon, every carved relief in medieval cathedrals is a profession of faith that speaks first to the eyes and then to the heart. This collection brings together five fundamental works that explore the visual language of Christian faith across centuries of history.
The Five Works of the Collection
Giorgio Ravegnani — Andare per l'Italia Bizantina
Guida storico-artistica · PDF sample incluso
An itinerary through the places where Byzantium left indelible traces in the Italian peninsula: Ravenna with its imperial mosaics, Norman Sicily, Puglia of the Catapanate, Venice with the Basilica of San Marco. Ravegnani guides the reader through golden apses, Cosmatesque floors and carved capitals.
Bellarmino Bagatti — L'Archeologia Cristiana in Palestina
Sansoni, 1962 · Studio accademico fondamentale
Monumental work by the great Franciscan of Nazareth, founder of Christian archaeology in the Holy Land. Bagatti documents with scientific rigor the sites of Christian origins: Judeo-Christian synagogues, early churches, baptisteries, cemeteries and inscriptions.
François Boespflug — Il Giorno di Pasqua nell'Arte
Jaca Book, 2021 · Edizione a colori
The great historian of religious art explores how painters and sculptors of every era have represented the encounters of the Risen Christ: Mary Magdalene at the tomb, the disciples of Emmaus, the appearance in the Upper Room, Pentecost. From Roman catacombs to Flemish masters, from Giotto to Rembrandt.
Dossier Arte e Archeologia Bizantina III
Studio specialistico · Documentazione iconografica
Third volume of the series dedicated to the art and archaeology of the Byzantine Empire. Collects specialized studies on mosaics, frescoes, ivories, enamels and illuminated manuscripts of the Greek-Oriental world.
Icone — Il Grande Viaggio
Jaca Book, 2021 · Edizione illustrata
A visual journey through the great Christian iconographic tradition, from the Egyptian origins of the funerary portrait to the Russian masters of the 14th and 15th centuries, from Andrei Rublev to the schools of Novgorod and Pskov.
"La bellezza salverà il mondo."
Why This Collection?
Sacred art is where theology becomes visible flesh. Studying a Ravenna mosaic, a Rublev icon or a Romanesque relief is not an aesthetic exercise: it is an act of understanding faith. These five works, though different in approach and historical period, share the same conviction: that sacred images are not illustrations of Scripture, but an autonomous form of revelation.
