Description

---

Welsh saints continue to fascinate many with an interest in Welsh history and tradition, and none more so than Dewi Sant / St David, who especially remains very much part of the Welsh national consciousness. This little book collects medieval imagery of St David as well as visual representations of the saint from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in the form of stained glass, sculpture and painting. It provides an overview and analysis of his life and work, and contextualises the imagery in relation to art history, local history and hagiography. The book is highly illustrated and in full colour throughout, packed with the author's striking photographs of images of Wales' patron saint.
