His Face: Images of Christ in Art
This is a picture book interspersed with quotations form the King James Biblea description that risks making it sound uninteresting, which it is not. The 95 color illustrations show the face of Christ as depicted by Western artists from the 13th through the 20th centuries. All full-page size, although they may originally have been a part of a larger work, they give the viewer an opportunity to study the features and artistic techniques without distraction. Appropriate for church libraries, this book may be of use in public libraries whose patrons request works on traditional religious illustrative material or on portraiture generally.
