Miscellaneous Early Christian Art
Faith of Abraham (Genesis 11-25)
 Gravestone of Datus. In this inscription the parents dedicate the epitaph to their son of 20 years. The figure to the left represents the resurrection of Lazarus, the most common image found in the catacombs. It reflected the belief of the early Christians in Jesus as the author of eternal life. (Marble catacomb inscription, Rome, 3rd century A.D. Pio Cristiano: Vatican Museum) |
