Synopsis
A combination religious study/art history guide that details the lives of 20 saints while pairing them with works by well-known artists. For example, the story of Saint Paul features Caravaggio's painting of Paul almost being trampled by a horse (the event that spurred his decision to become a Christian); an exploration of Joan of Arc features Ingres' depiction of her in full battle gear; and the tale Saint George and the dragon shows Raphael's interpretation of the slaying.
