Description:
This study deals with the representation of Christ's healing miracles in early Christian sepulchral art from Provence and Northern Italy. It sees the imagery through the contemporary exegetical writings and tries to uncover new strata of symbolic significance in early Christian art. The aim of the work is to reveal the complex theological concepts reflected in the relief decoration of a small number of late 4th-century sarcophagi and to cast light upon the spiritual climate of the sphere the persons who commissioned them were part of. The book also links the narrative structure of representations of medical treatment and miracle scenes in ancient art with the Christian images and establishes formal and icongraphic connexions.
