Sacred art of any culture carries its own spiritual vision, which is reflected in a special formal language. Outlining the general principles of the symbolism of traditional art, the well-known researcher of the history and philosophy of culture, Titus Burckhardt, examines the characteristic methods and features of the sacred art of the five great traditions: Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Taoism. The reflection of the great Unity through the diversity of forms is the leitmotif of this work, which will be of interest both to cultural experts and art critics, and to the widest range of readers who are not left indifferent by the heritage of wisdom and beauty accumulated by mankind.
