About the Author
Author James Houghton takes the reader on a journey that winds through a biographical sketch of the artist and offers discussions on Hungarian and European history, art history, and Roman Catholic theology, all of which are central to the rich symbolism within the paintings and the mystical feelings they inspire in viewers. In addition to the author's intricately woven prose, the book includes lush, color reproductions of Father Prokop's frescoes and triptych.
