In this third and final volume of the Illuminating Luke series, Professors Hornik and Parsons focus their careful analysis and insightful reflections upon Renaissance and Baroque representations of Christ's passion and resurrection. Completing the series' chronological progression of the biblical narrative from Jesus' birth and public ministry according to the Gospel of Luke's unique canonical arrangement, the authors present four scenes found only in Luke in the paintings of the great Italian masters Fra Angelico, Vasari, Stradano, and Caravaggio. Each painting's representation of the biblical narratives is scrutinized in terms of style, history, and iconography, in order to understand better its historical context and visual exegesis. This series provides an invaluable contribution to the fields of both art history and biblical studies in that it enriches the appreciation of the history of the biblical narratives' interpretations, identifies attributes unique to Luke's Gospel that enrich an understanding of a particular painting's iconography, discusses the absence of popular narratives in Luke's passion and resurrection accounts in the visual arts, and addresses and resolves the subsequent confusion between biblical and nonbiblical subjects by scholars and students alike. This survey of Renaissance and Baroque art of the Bible is an important resource both for students of art history and of biblical studies. Book jacket.
