Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History Principles and Practice of Symbolism in Christian Art A Symbol is a form that in itself may be trivial, barbarous, or even repellent, but which nevertheless, from the association connected with it, is the sign of something higher than meets the outward eye. Symbolic forms can never again attain the importance they have done in the past. Their study is nevertheless deeply interesting; for, grotesque and quaint as they often are, we must remember that they were but the outer shell, and often beneath a rugged exterior bore a golden wealth of significance. To the artist and archæologist such study is indispensable. The field of inquiry is so vast, both in space and time, that it is evident that an exhaustive treatment is impossible; we purpose then in the present pages to do little more than deal with the subject in its association with Christianity and its illustration in art.
