The depiction of religious figures, from Old Testament prophets to martyred saints, was popular in prints from the Middle Ages onward. This exhibit presented a variety of biblical and religious treatises and showed how the illustrations of religious figures were applied to enhance the text.

Organization: The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art. Neal Turtell, executive librarian, was curator.
