In this engaging and beautifully illustrated journey, author and curator Stephen Auth reexamines the history of Western art through the lens of Christian faith, revealing it as a centuries-long search for God. Guiding readers from ancient civilizations through the Renaissance and into the modern era, he reflects on masterpieces by artists from Polykleitos to Picasso without resorting to sterile art historical jargon. Instead, he uncovers the spiritual longings, struggles, and rediscoveries that shape artistic expression across time. By tracing recurring themes of transcendence and doubt, this thoughtful exploration invites readers to see art anew and to recognize in it humanity’s enduring quest for the Divine Artist.
