The Bible has had an incredible impact on Western art. While religious art was mostly confined to churches until well into the Middle Ages, it has since become an integral part of the Western tradition and has deeply influenced the way many of us envision the people, places, and events of the Bible. How do artists bring these stories to life? As you will see in Picturing the Bible: How Artists Tell the Story, the choices that artists have made over the centuries are determined by many different expectations and influences. With Dr. Robin Jensen as your guide, you’ll see how artists bring words to life through everything from stained glass and illuminated manuscripts to tapestries and murals. Then, explore how their work has shaped the way we think about the Bible. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on the power of art to us connect with these stories on a deeper level.
