Arles, France
Figure from Erich
Dinkler's "The Christian Realm: Abbreviated Representations," in Weitzmann.
- Upper register, L
to R: Slaughter of the Innocents, Adam and Eve, unidentified
- Middle register,
L to R: a miracle of St. Peter, a miracle of Christ, two contemporary
figures, Christ and the woman with the flow of blood, Christ prophesies
St. Peter's denial
- Lower register, L
to R: the Magi, Cana, a miracle that Dinkler identifies as the
multiplication of the loaves and fishes, St. Peter's water miracle,
another Peter episode.
The scene identified as
the loaves and fishes may in fact be the curing
of the blind man. See a similar arrangement of figures on another Arles sarcophagus.
