A dictionary of themes common to western art -- especially those arising from classical and Christian sources -- primarily from the Renaissance onward. Included are persons (and personifications), objects (especially attributes), and common events (e.g., The Raising of Lazarus). Special attention is paid to the interpretation of symbols in art. There is a list of sources at the beginning of the dictionary and an index at the end, but no illustrations. [Review, Oberlin Art Library Staff, BQP 6/16/2005]
