Description: Citta del Vaticano: Edizioni Musei Vaticani - Sillabe - Giunti, 2011. 21cm., pbk., 47pp. illus., most in color. Italian text. Summary: "Those who visit the Vatican Museums can 'immerse' themselves in an intense atmosphere of 'theology through images', by pausing in this sanctuary of art and faith (Pope Benedict XVI"). From these words of the Holy Father stems the idea of launching a series of books dedicated to the dialogue between Art and Faith. This book is the first of the series and includes the contributions by two illustrious authors. In his essay His Eminence Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi reveals how art is the «visual narrative of the experience of the encounter with a face, a word, a visible image rendered incarnate, 'and which has the task «of seeking to unite harmonically the Infinite in human flesh, the Eternal in human history, the Son of God who is Jesus of Nazareth'. "Art is the shadow of God on earth". With these words Antonio Paolucci, Director of the Vatican Museums, exemplifies the Christian religious message in the figurative arts, highlighting the masterpieces by Caravaggio and Raphael.
