Deacon Mike Beauvais interviews Elizabeth Lev about her book, The Silent Knight A History of St. Joseph as Depicted in Art.  Deacon Mike asks his favorite questions about the art in her book that intrigues him most, but he also gives a general review in his discussion with Elizabeth.  The Silent Knight explores and chronicles the remarkable rise of Joseph’s iconography through masterpieces by some of history’s greatest artists. Each chapter of this book reveals a different facet of Joseph, contextualized in the history, spirituality, or controversy of the age, and demonstrates how artists applied their creative talents to communicate Joseph’s intercessory power to their audiences. This fascinating interview is a fitting one for the final week of The Year of St. Joseph!
