  SEASON 5: Welcome to Saints and Their Signifiers! 02.06.2026 4min

  Welcome to Saints and Their Signifiers!Have you ever stood in front of a painting and wondered why that saint is holding a wheel, a sword, or a lamb — and what it all means? You're in the right place.Saints and Their Signifiers is Season 5 of Jo's Art History Podcast, and this time we're doing something a little different. Rather than our usual format, this season is fully thematic — diving deep into one rich subject across every episode: the iconography of Christian saints.We'll be unpacking the symbols, attributes, and visual clues that artists have used for centuries to tell their stories — exploring why that saint is holding a key, a lily, or a severed head, and what it reveals about the world in which these works were made.Whether you're a long-time listener coming back for another season, or a newcomer drawn in by the art on your feed, you're very welcome here. No prior knowledge needed — just a love of art and a curiosity about the world behind the image.We can't wait to share this season with you. Subscribe now, and we'll see you in the first episode.We'll see you soon!

  In this episode of Jo’s Art History Podcast, Jo McLaughlin is thrilled to welcome back to the podcast art historian, writer and comedian Verity Babbs, who is here to talk to me about her brand-new book, The History of Art (In One Sentence).The book’s synopsis is as follows:What’s so special about Dutch paintings of cheese? When does Art Nouveau become Art Deco? Why were the Pre-Raphaelites obsessed with gingers? Who thought it was a good idea to put a big dead shark on display? In this book, comedian and art historian Verity Babbs journeys through 50 key art movements across history, answering 10 questions for each in just one sentence. Within these fascinating, and sometimes hilarious, nuggets of art wisdom, Verity covers everything from who inspired the movement and its impact on history, to the key artists and artworks for each. Spanning 500 years – from the Renaissance to the Young British Artists – this wonderfully illustrated book is for anyone who wants to learn more about art and also have a little giggle along the way.Guest Details:Verity Babbs - UK-based Find Verity online:Website: https://www.veritybabbs.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veritybabbsartHost Details:Jo McLaughlin is the creator and host of Jo’s Art History Podcast, an art historian, writer, and passionate storyteller dedicated to making art history accessible and engaging for all.Find Jo online:Website: ⁠www.josarthistory.com⁠Instagram: @josarthistoryLinkedIn: Jo McLaughlinResources & References:You can purchase the book from all good retailers. Support the Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and rating on whatever platform you are listening on.
