SynopsisExcerpt from Christian Iconography, or the History of Christian Art in the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 of 2: The History of the Nimbus, the Aureole, and the Glory; Representations of the Persons of the Trinity Some large churches, such as those Of Chartres, Rheims, Paris, and Amiens, are adorned with no fewer than two, three, or even four thousand statues Of stone or, as is the case in that Of Chartres, and in those Of Bourges and Mans, with three, four, or five thousand figures painted on glass. Formerly, there was not a church, however small its dimensions, that did not possess thirty, forty, or perhaps a hundred figures either in sculpture or painting. If, then, we take a mean number between the largest and smallest amounts, and multiply that number by the of religious edifices known to have existed in France, whether before the fanatical devastation Of the sixteenth, or the poli tical destruction of the eighteenth century, we Shall be able to judge of the vast importance that had been given by Christianity to the imitative arts.
