ISBN: 9782914338349
Description: Gap: Editions Gregoriennes, Adverbum, 2011. 29cm., hardcover, 231pp. with numerous color photos. Summary: The stained glass windows at Arnaut de Moles in the Sainte-Marie d'Auch Cathedral and the Michelangelo frescoes in the Sistine Chapel illustrate how the Bible was interpreted by the Church during the Renaissance: Humanity was formed by Pagan philosophers and by Moses' revelation, before fully developing in Christianity. The Creation of the World, Original Sin, Noah's drunkenness; the Pagan Sibyls, the Hebrew Prophets, Christ's ancestors led the advent of Jesus and of the Church kissing all the people (Catholic,) uniting them under (Christ's vicar) the Pope's government, inspired by God. Jean-Paul Dumontier's remarkable photos portray the details of the Arnaut de Moles stained glass windows in all their splendor, while the historic, aesthetic and Biblical comments of Pierre Duplan establish the evolution of the religious representations, linking readings from the New Testament, the Prophets, the Sibyls, and Pagan nation philosophers. Cinq siècles de lumières lets readers admire and understand an exceptional set of Renaissance stained glass windows - a real discovery.
