'Saint Bernard was and still is a master of the spiritual life', wrote the late Bernard scholar Jean Leclercq, From his own day-he died in 1153-throughout the Middle Ages, and still today, he has been portrayed in paintings, manuscript illuminations, wooden and stone carvings, and stained glass windows. Both Bernard's reputation and the characteristic piety of the artists are revealed in the depictions. Accompanying the study is a CD image-index of medieval portrayals of this influential saint.
