A great introduction to how the saints were represented. There certainly were a lot of them with some very peculiar identifiers. Keep up the great work Smarthistory!
2:43 "This lamb rocks yo!" I swear Saint John's expression look like a hiphop artist or something who's pointing at his latest bling 😂 I'm only joking, this video is very interesting and informative. Thank you!
Jesus Christ is "The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." John the Baptist's main role was to bring awareness to Jesus and his mission. The remarkable thing is that the founder of NO OTHER faith had a living prophet testify for them. John the Baptist's testimony was one of the 3 proofs that Jesus gave to justify his claims in John chapter 5 of the New Testament. The other two were his miracles and the prophecies of him. Jesus told us that verbal claims alone are inadequate. Yet that is what most prophets have. We should follow no other prophet after Jesus who brings another faith unless they have proof more solid than this. For example, neither Prophet Mohammed nor Joseph Smith, nor more contemporary prophets like Sun Myung Moon had even one of these essential 3 proofs.

How refreshing to find anything intellectually and artistically exciting. Thanks. Warren. Trying to log in to your convwrsation but it keeps saying not known ???ersation
excellent video; St. Jerome is one of 4 Fathers of the (Western or Latin) Church; there are other Fathers but they come from the (Eastern of Greek) Church (the Cappadocians for example: Basil, Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory of Nazianzus)...
Thank you for this video! Would you happen to know good books on this subject? I was always interested in church symbolism but for some reason I don't see any books on that topic alone.

It is an amazing story. You are seeing the underdrawing after the repainted center was removed. Learn more here: www.christies.com/features/The-Hugo-van-der-Goes-painting-revealed-after-centuries-8214-3.aspx
@@smarthistory-art-history It's startles me a little that the conservators chose to completely remove some figures while removing the overpainting. I understand why. They wanted to reveal the artist's original composition.

Amazing channel. Just subscribed
I know St Sebastian is always depicted pierced with arrows and then there's another saint who carries his flayed skin with him, rather gruesome.
Erryday that’s St. Bartholomew the Apostle

answer: usually holding what killed them
regarding St. Peter's keys, some depictions have the keys in gold (heaven) and silver (earth)

This was very instructive and, though I haven't seen St. Lucy or Agatha yet, there will be no mistaking them when I do... 🙊

The best source would likely be the Catholic Encyclopedia newadvent.org/cathen/
@@smarthistory-art-history Thank you!
other source that you can look for is the book "the bible an the saints (Flammarion iconographic guides)" by G. Duchet-suchaux and M. pastoureau.
@@64729Laura Thank you so much! It's precisely what I was looking for.
@@micolashcage you're welcome! 👍
Please could someone tell me what is the name of the painting/artist at 1:25?
That information is listed at the end of every Smarthistory video, each object shown in order of appearance.
@@smarthistory-art-history I missed that. Thanks very much for letting me know. 👍

Might the red hair of Mary Magdalene be related to the old trope of portraying Jews with red hair?
