I just came across this quote from John Eldredge’s Waking the Dead:

“(Eldredge quoting art historian Kenneth Clark) We have grown so used to the idea that the Crucifixion is the supreme symbol of Christianity, that it is a shock to realize how late in the history of Christian art its power was recongnized. In the first art of Christianity it hardly appears; and the earliest example, on the doors of Santa Sabina in Rome [around A.D. 430], is stuck away in a corner, almost out of sight…early Christian art is concerned with miracles, healings, and with hopeful aspects of the faith like the Ascension and the Resurrection.”
