| Summary: | For much of Christian history, the faithful have encountered the Apocalypse of John as much through what they have seen as what they have heard or read. Examples abound from virtually every century of the Christian era: in frescoes, illuminated manuscripts, woodcuts, stained glass, and sculpture, as well as icons, devotional paintings, and altarpieces. In this fascinating and ground-breaking study, Natasha O’Hear presents a careful examination of the hermeneutical strategies at work in selected representations of John’s book from the late medieval and early modern West, strategies which closely parallel those more readily associated with the ‘textual exegesis’ of Revelation. |
