Summary "Among the 12 disciples of Jesus, perhaps none has inspired more magnificent art--as well as political upheaval--than Saint James the Greater. He was the first apostle to be martyred. He remains the patron saint of pilgrims to the shrine of Santiago de Compostela. His legacy has bequeathed a tradition of Western art over nearly two millennia"-- Provided by publisher
