Abstract
- This article discusses a book titled "Women of the Bible: From Text to Image," which focuses on the representation of biblical women in art. The book explores how these representations, particularly in engravings, have been modified to conform to societal expectations and values, particularly in nineteenth-century Spain. The article provides a detailed example from the book, discussing how engravings of women from the Book of Judges were adapted to align with societal ideals of femininity and domesticity. The article also briefly mentions other chapters in the book that analyze the depiction of women such as Bathsheba and Moses's mother. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive examination of the intersection between biblical texts and visual representations of women. [Extracted from the article]
