Excerpt from Analysis of the Cartoons of Raphael
St. Paul was at the highest. His sentiment, his eyes, his hands, appear to lay hold on heaven - he stands with more dignified firm ness - his whole attitude is full of the sacred authority of his mission; and, for the moment rapt in sublime consciousness, he appears the minister of a superior Being.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. First published in 1850, this book gives readers an in-depth look at the cartoons of Raphael and their immense impact on Western art and Christianity. Theological concepts such as "God as Father" and the "Virtues of the Christian Life" are visually illuminated through the author's unmatched expertise in art history, theology, and aesthetics. The author goes into significant detail on each cartoon, drawing parallels between the artist's life, biblical narratives, and the techniques that made Raphael's work so profound. From the precarious situation of the apostles in "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" to the decisive moment between Peter and Christ depicted in "The Charge to Peter," the book's engaging prose and remarkable insights will stay with the reader long after they put the book down.
