"The Foundations of Christian Art" by Titus Burckhardt is a profound exploration of the spiritual and philosophical roots of Christian art, tracing its development from early Christian times to the medieval period. Burckhardt discusses how Christian art was not merely a reflection of religious themes but an embodiment of the deeper spiritual principles and metaphysical truths of Christianity. He emphasizes that Christian art was intended to guide the soul toward divine truth. Burckhardt addresses the key elements that shaped Christian art, such as the symbolism of light, color, and space, which were used to convey a sense of the divine presence and to express the mysteries of faith. He also examines the influence of the early Christian church and the ways in which Christian artists sought to portray sacred figures and events.
