Translated into English here for the first time, Paleottis Discourse on Sacred and Profane Images argues that art should address a broad audience and explains the painters responsibility to his spectators. The Discourse is introduced by historian Paolo Prodi, who explains how-even if the archbishop did not succeed in reforming the arts-Paleottis treatise constituted one last synthesis of art as a reading of creation and salvation history, and sacred art as a vehicle of devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51873418772768,"sku":"NEW160606116X","price":65.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51et9c9QcML.jpg?v=1781717528","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/discourse-on-sacred-and-profane-images-texts-documents-160606116x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
