Review:
Carmelite nun and art critic Sister Wendy is an expert in classic and contemporary art alike: here she reviews the appearance of saints in art through the centuries, considering how the saints were depicted, the lasting importance and influence of historic masterpieces, and the subject of each painting. Excellent color plates of the paintings accompany Beckett's appreciative and critical comments, which include plenty of background for novices. -- Midwest Book Review
