Icon and Devotion offers the first extensive presentation in English of the making and meaning of Russian icons. The craft of icon-making is set into the context of forms of worship that emerged in the Russian Orthodox Church in the mid-seventeenth century. Oleg Tarasov shows how icons have held a special place in Russian consciousness because they represented idealized images of Holy Russia. He also looks closely at how and why icons were made. Wonder-working saints and the leaders of such religious schisms as the Old Believers appear in these pages, which are illustrated with miniature paintings, lithographs and engravings never before published in the English-speaking world. By tracing the artistic vocabulary, techniques and working methods of icon painters, Tarasov shows how icons have been integral to the history of Russian art, influenced by folk and mainstream currents alike. As well as articulating the specifically Russian piety they invoke, he analyzes the significance of icons in the cultural life of modern Russia in the context of popular prints and poster design.

"Icons were among the first religious objects brought into Russia from Byzantium at a time when Christian art was already highly developed. Although the art of the icon (the sacred picture of the Greek Orthodox church) could be said to have reached perfection in the Byzantine world, the Russians, nevertheless, were able to give it a new, national complexion and produce some of the finest examples of the art. Icons were first produced for use in churches and processions. As their size became smaller, so demand fro them as religious household objects grew. They have remained an important feature in Russia's orthodox religious cultures to this day. The 65 plates in this book show work as beautiful as that of the greatest Italian primitives. The icons date from the 14th to 17th centuries, many belonging to the School of Novgorod, once the cultural centre of Russia. Other sources include the renowned school of Rublev and Dionysus"--

Titian, one of the most successful painters of the Italian Renaissance, was credited by his contemporaries with painting a miracle-working image, the San Rocco Christ Carrying the Cross. Taking this unusual circumstance as a point of departure, Christopher J. Nygren revisits the scope and impact of Titian's life's work. Nygren shows how, motivated by his status as the creator of a miracle-working object, Titian played an active and essential role in reorienting the long tradition of Christian icons over the course of the sixteenth century. Drawing attention to Titian's unique status as a painter whose work was viewed as a conduit of divine grace, Nygren shows clearly how the artist appropriated, deployed, and reconfigured Christian icon painting. Specifically, he tracks how Titian continually readjusted his art to fit the shifting contours of religious and political reformations, and how these changes shaped Titian's conception of what made a devotionally efficacious image. The strategies that were successful in, say, 1516 were discarded by the 1540s, when his approach to icon painting underwent a radical revision. Therefore, this book not only tracks the career of one of the most important artists in the tradition of Western painting but also brings to light new information about how divergent agendas of religious, political, and artistic reform interacted over the long arc of the sixteenth century. Original and erudite, this book represents an important reassessment of Titan's approach to devotional subject matter. It will appeal to students and specialists, as well as art aficionados interested in Titian and in religious painting.

This book is a small contribution to the special Year of Jubilee in honor of the 150th anniversary of the restoration to public veneration of the icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Although much has been written about the history of the icon and its rich symbolism, little has been done to present devotion to this sacred icon in the larger theological and spiritual context of the church's general Marian teaching. Mary is Our Mother of Perpetual Help because she is, at one and the same time, Mother of God and Mother of the Church. The goal in these pages is to present Mary in 3-D, as a living icon of Discipleship, Doctrine, and Devotion, as someone who points at all times to her son, Jesus, "the way, and the truth, and the life" (Jn 14:6). Fr. Billy goes beyond the image of Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, to help us discover the disciple who becomes the Mother of God, and Mother of the Church. Through this beautiful Icon, Mary reveals to us the meaning of discipleship, Incarnation and loving devotion. May Fr. Billy's writing help us to deepen our relationship with Mary, and through her, with her Son, Jesus the Redeemer.Most Rev. Michael Brehl, C.Ss.R. Redemptorist Superior General, RomeThis slim yet profound volume will lead you to a deeper understanding of Mary, Mother of God and Our Mother of Perpetual Help. It situates Marian devotion in its proper doctrinal context. Above all, through it, you will come to appreciate Mary's experience of discipleship and how she can lead you to a closer following of Jesus.Donna Orsuto, STD Professor, Institute of Spirituality, Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome Director, The Lay Centre at Foyer UnitasIf you want to expand your personal spiritual reflections on Mary of Nazareth, then this is the book for you!Rev. John Kingsbury, C.Ss.R., D.Min. Coordinator, Conference of Redemptorists of North AmericaFr. Billy clearly and systematically explains how we can deepen our relationship with Christ by learning from Mary. He shows us how to incorporate into our own lives the personal qualities that make her a true model for all believers: Discipleship, Doctrine and Devotion. I highly recommend this book.Very Rev. Stephen T. Rehrauer, C.Ss.R. Redemptorist Provincial Superior, Denver Province

Rowan Williams applies his knowledge and imagination in reflecting on four classic Eastern Orthodox icons of Christ: the Transfiguration, the Resurrection, the Hospitality of Abraham (an icon which depicts the Trinity) and the Pantocrator, or Christ in glory. Icons have been called "theology in line and colour" and in these images we find eternal truths and life-changing challenges. Icons have become increasingly popular as aids to devotion, but with an expert guide such as Rowan Williams, their many layers of meaning emerge more clearly.
