'A companion volume to James Hall's perennial seller Dictionary of Subjects & Symbols in Art, which deals with the subject matter of Christian and Western art, the present volume includes the art of Egypt, the ancient Near East, Christian and classical Europe, India and the Far East. Hall explores the language of symbols in art showing how paintings, drawings and sculpture express many shades of meaning from simple, everyday hopes and fears to the profoundest philosophical and religious aspirations.'
