An Iconography of Western Religions

Offering a great wealth of photographic material An Iconography of Western Religions by Pietro Gaietto reconstructs the origins and iconographic evolution of Western religious images. He has researched the origins and evolution of Paleolithic art which Gaietto affirms is the foundation from which Western religious images have evolved. Gaietto's careful reconstruction allows you to appreciate over time the constant stylistic evolution -- that is the deformation of images which from time to time has produced a new type of beauty. The thrust of the book concerns three-dimensional art and the evolution of Western religions.
