Sinnbilder und Kunstvorstellungen der alten Christen

Münter, Friedrich, 1761-1830 · 1825 · Altona [Germany] : J.F. Hammerich · 13 pictures

Sinnbilder und Kunstvorstellungen der alten Christen is a German-language study of early Christian symbols and artistic motifs by Friedrich Münter, printed in Altona in 1825 for scholars of antiquity and religious art. Its plates show engraved line drawings of sarcophagus reliefs, gems, seals and medallions with figures, animals and emblems, including fish and anchor motifs, which a designer could use as a reference for early Christian iconography and simple line symbols.
