商品簡介
This is a fascinating reference work by the late noted art historian, James Hall. Art history students and avid museum goers will appreciate the cross-references by subject, like Saint George, where the life of martyr is given, or object, like dragon, where one can find the symbolic meaning of the beast in Western art. Most entries are from Classical or Christian iconography, handy for those of us who don't have Livy memorized or have forgotten just which virgin Dorothea was.
