Item description from seller

Minor shelf-rubbing to pictorial hardcovers, elsewise a fine, bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy sans other flaws. Book published in conjunction witht the 2002 exhibition of the same name which was exhibited at The Gallery of the American Bible Society, New York, NY. PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in full-color and black-and-white photography of artworks (most full-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. From the 'President's Preface' page: "The American Bible Society is pleased, therefore, to present 'Icons or Portraits? Images of Jesus and Mary from the collection of Michael Hall'. The 114 works on display, dating from the twelfth through the twentieth century, illustrate how artists have responded over time to the question of Jesus' appearance. Dr. Ena Heller, Director of the Gallery and co-curator for the exhibition, looks at the various artistic portrayals of Jesus' physiognomy identifying the trends and their sources in her introductory essay for the catalog. The illustrated entries that follow are grouped according to their particular subject. Each entry discusses the object and its particular artistic and historical significance. The result is a fascinating journey through the artistic tradition that developed in an effort to clarify, emphasize, and explain Jesus' role in the scriptures." 283 pages. NOTE: Due to folio size and over 5 lb. shipping weight of the book, additional shipping cost will be requested/required for EXPEDITED and OUT-OF-U.S. shipment. GG3.…
