The Bible is the most widely read book in history. The events narrated in it and the characters that populate its pages have been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Western art. Architecture, painting and sculpture are impregnated with them, from the birth of Christianity to the present day. Would you be able to recognise the events or characters that appear in the Bible, do you know the background to the events and their protagonists, and do you know why they are represented in this way? This book aims to help you identify and get to know both aspects by relating them to the different iconographic variants and pointing out curious details about their meaning, with the Bible itself being the fundamental source.
