This volume focuses on the legends of angels, archangels, the evangelists, the apostles, and significant figures like St. Mary Magdalene, as represented in fine arts. It seeks to explore the intersection of art, legend, and devotion, offering insights into how these narratives were visually expressed and understood throughout history. The opening of the volume includes a detailed preface and introduction that outlines the thematic structure of the work, emphasizing the significance of legendary narratives in the development of Christian art. Mrs. Jameson reflects on the origins of these legends and their impact on both the culture of art and broader societal beliefs during the Middle Ages. She discusses the need to comprehend the emotional and spiritual contexts behind these artistic representations, suggesting that, while contemporary views may lack the original associations, a revival of interest in these themes may deepen appreciation for past works of art. Through thoughtful examination, the text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the rich tapestry of stories that continue to resonate in historical and religious art today.
