Description

• Title:
  Book of Job in the Early Christian Art: examples, themes and their origins
• Creator:
  Adamiak, Stanisław
• Description:
  The article deals with the iconography of Job in the Early Christian art, tracing its examples especially in the funeral framework. Artefacts such as sarcophagi (especially of Junius Bassus) and frescoes of Roman catacombs are analysed. The author presents the presence of other persons in the Job scenes, concentrating on the ambiguous role of Job’s wife (negative in the Septuagint translation, positive in the apocryphal Testament of Job). Examples of using the Book of Job in epigraphy, monumental decoration and modern art follow, together with the reflexions on the attempts to establish the exact topography of Job’s history.
