Requests:  0 Summary:  "This book offers a... meditation on the lives of the saints and the images of them painted by Renaissance artists in Italy. Robert Kiely, a ...scholar of modernist literature and a historian and critic...has a keen eye and uncanny ability to capture details of significance and to prompt the reader to look again and to see with fresh eyes that the lives of saints and the Renaissance depictions of them are anything but dull, uniform, or narrowly orthodox. His... book treats saints seriously as human religious figures (not icons of perfection), brought to life by great Italian paintings in dialogue with scripture, legend, and poetry. ...Offering a rare combination of insight into religion, literature, and art, this ...volume should be by your side whenever you pick up a classic text, look at a Renaissance painting, or spend a few moments in private meditation or prayer.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 755.63094 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 755.63094 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
