Egyptians Drowned in the Red Sea-Gustave Dore |
October 7 – November 4, 2007 “Imaging the Word ” Advances in printing technology allowed the work of 19th century artists to illustrate "family bibles" marketed to middle class families. Complex engravings that traced salvation history -- the product of historical research, travel and the artists' imaginations -- offered captivating images of distant places and times. These pictures became the standard for biblical imagery for several generations, influencing visualizations from Sunday School leaflets to biblical movies. The exhibit will include images from the Dore illustration series alongside illustrations from Saint Luke's collection of antique family and service bibles. |
