Description
The earliest Christian art known to art historians dates back to the end of the second century, in the late Roman Empire. Some of the finest examples of these artworks can be found within the catacombs that these Christians left behind. By analyzing five Biblical scenes depicted within the famous Catacombs of Priscilla, it is possible to get a small glimpse into the minds of those who created those artworks and those who worshiped there.
Faculty Sponsor: Prof. Sandra Krohnert
