Monastic Visions: Wall Paintings in the Monastery of St. Antony at the Red Sea

An ancient church in the Coptic Monastery of St Antony at the Red Sea contains a unique cycle of 13th-century wall paintings. They constitute by far the most complete and best-preserved iconographic programme of Christian paintings to come from mediaeval Egypt. Ignored for centuries because they were covered with soot and overpainting, these compelling images have recently undergone conservation. This volume reproduces the cleaned paintings. It also describes and analyzes their amalgam of Coptic (Egyptian Christian), Byzantine and Arab styles and motifs as well as the religious culture to which they belong.
