商品簡介
Formerly a Sister of Notre Dame, Beckett has lived as a contemplative nun at a Carmelite monastery in Norfolk, England, for 40-plus years, and has written several books on religious topics. Organized by the books of the Bible, her text combines Biblical passages with a selection of 54 paintings by major artists, from the 12th to 21st centuries, providing readers of all ages and religious backgrounds with a sampling of stories and teachings from the Old and New Testaments. Each chapter also includes an introduction and commentary by Beckett. The full-color reproductions include works by Botticelli, Caravaggio, Chagall, Da Vinci, Degas, Delacroix, Duccio, Durer, El Greco, Giotto, Pouissin, Raphael, Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, Van Der Weyden, and Van Gogh.
