A new series of small, exquisite hardbacks from London’s National Gallery, in which its unrivalled collection is explored through a variety of appealing themes

Martyrs and mystics, healers and hermits, visionaries and miracle workers: the images of saints in the Gallery’s collection chart not only a history of devotion but also the development of Western European art itself. Saints takes a close look at how some of the most Splendid depictions of these figures still speak to us across the centuries.
