Aprašymas

Featuring twenty luminous artworks accompanied by pen portraits, Lives of the Saints is acclaimed illustrator Kate Baylay’s inspired artistic response to some of the great figures of Christian history.

Featuring twenty saints from a range of places and centuries - from familiar names such as Peter, Paul, and Francis of Assisi to the less well-known figures St William of York and St Dorothy - Lives of the Saints is a beguiling series of artworks by acclaimed illustrator Kate Baylay, whose extraordinary work for the Ashmolean Museum, The Folio Society (their youngest ever commissioned artist), the Everyman Library, the Royal Collection and Fendi has established her as one of the most distinctive illustrators working today. Here, she presents a personal selection of those saints whose lives and deeds inspired her to creativity. Accompanied by pen portraits of their subjects, these artworks glow with inner intensity, and in form and treatment are redolent of the finest works in stained glass.
