Begins with the observation that in earliest Christian art the Old Testament is more dominant than the New Testament.
Assumes that even before early Christian art there was Jewish Biblical iconography,
in the Jewish centres of the Middle East (Pächt).
This Jewish art not only refers back to the Biblical text, but also draws on apocryphal writing, and Jewish interpretative literature (Midrash).
Later Christian art draws on this Jewish iconography, as seen in the various echoes of the Jewish Midrash and apocryphal literature, which found their visual expression in later Christian art.
Refers to the Biblical prohibition of pictures. This must be seen in the context of pagan practices of the specific surroundings. If a practice of worship can be excluded, or if it did not exist at all in the region, there was nothing to interfere with the practice of art, especially when it had to do with two dimensional painting.
Schubert therefore assumes that there must already have been Jewish picture cycles in the 2nd century AD. The frescoes of the Dura Europos Synagogue in Eastern Syria (year 244) provide irrefutable proof of this assumption.
Deals with the Biblical iconography in the Dura Europos within the context of the canonical Bible text and Midrash literature: the anointing of David, the sacrifice of the Baal priest.
The methodology of using Midrash literature can also be applied to Christian art. There are image themes in which the canonical bible text does not allow a satisfactory interpretation. When Midrash literature leads to an understanding of the iconography, then one can assume that there is an older Jewish model.
Yet there are traditions in which both Midrashic literature and Patristic sources can be seen. In such the use of a Jewish model is not likely.
Nevertheless, earlier research also indicates iconographic parallels between paintings in the synagogue of Dura Europos and later Christian examples. As the painting in the synagogue only existed for eleven years before being destroyed by a Sassanian attack, they could have had an influence on Christian art. Schubert therefore assumes that there are common Jewish models, for instance the conversation between the Pharaoh and the Israelite midwife in the Ashburnham Pentateuch, the Old English Heptateuch and the Bury St. Edmunds Psalter. The daughter of the Pharaoh finding the infant Moses in the so-called Pamplona Bibles, Navarra, around 1300).
During various periods of the fourth century the scenes painted on the catacombs of the Via Latina were mainly from the Old Testament. These contain Midrash elements, which according to Schubert also indicate Jewish origins of the models used (examples: Abraham meeting the three angels in Mamre, Pinhas punishing Zimri and Kosbi).
The same phenomenon of Midrash element in iconography can also be observed in the Vienna Genesis, as well as in the Ashburnham Pentateuch. In the Vienna Genesis it is most of all the Joseph iconography which plays an important role, from which one can perhaps deduce that there had been a narrative of the story of Joseph in Jewish picture cycles (examples in the Vienna Genesis: the story of Asnat, Joseph’s wife; Joseph’s seduction by Potiphar’s wife; in the Ashburnham Pentateuch: Isaac and Ismael fight over the first born’s claim; Rebecca in Sem’s school).
Similar themes later re-appeared in Hebrew manuscript illustrations (conversation between Pharaoh and the Israelite midwife in the Golden Haggadah, the Kaufmann Haggadah or the Picture Bible of the Venetian woodcutter Moses dal Castellazzo
Such element, which can indicate a meeting of Jewish and Christian art then lost significance in the course of the centuries.
This topic was then discussed in detail in Kurt Schubert (publisher) Spätantikes Judentum und frühchristliche Kunst (Studia Judaica Austriaca II), Late Antiquity Judaism and Early Christian Art, Vienna 1974

The development of a Jewish concept of resurrection: there is no concept of universal resurrection in the Old Testament, nor in Middle Eastern Antiquity generally. It is only the Greek trichotomic concept of a soul that makes the belief in resurrection possible. It is on this basis that the idea of the reuniting of body and soul begins to develop in the second century BC.
Discussion of the representation of Ezekiel, Chapter 37 in the Synagogue of Dura Europos, mid 3rd century A.D. The scene of the revivification.
Shows the methodological emphasis: analysis of the picture, as compared to the Bible text and to Rabbinic literature.
The fifth picture shows Greek Psyche figures with butterfly wings and indicates the infiltration of a late antique concept of creation and resurrection into Jewish thought. This is echoed in the writings of Josephus Flavius.
For comparison, Kurt Weitzmann’s analysis of the Prometheus Sarcophagus is used, the iconography of which also highlights trichotomic anthropology.
Trichotomic anthropology also exerts its influence on early Christian perception, as in Paul or Irenaeus, and on early Christian iconography, the creation of Eva in the so-called Trinity Sarcophagus, (the Dogmatic Sarcophagus, beginning of the 4th century and later in the hexaemeron cupola of San Marco, Venice, where the iconography harks back to the Cotton Genesis, Byzantium, 5th century. This late influence jars slightly with the fact that the teaching of trichotomy had been condemned in the Council of Rome (382).
The belief in an in-between stage between death and the Last Days develops in Judaism, as well as in Christianity. In late antique art this belief can be seen in the representations of Jonah sleeping under the gourd, relating to the classical iconography of the sleeping Endymion (Jonah Sarcophagus).
The concept of salvation in Old Testament iconography in late antique catacomb painting: in Christian catacombs this is expressed through a great number of scenes showing redemption or salvation. These scenes convey the hope of eschatological salvation. Closely related to this is the image of the Good Shepherd as Saviour, as taken from Roman culture. Believers are entitled to eschatological redemption through baptism and the Eucharist. Therefore the representations of baptism, the multiplication of the loaves, and ritual meals are frequently found in the catacomb paintings.
The counterpart in Jewish catacombs is seen in temple imagery referring to the eschatological third temple: The Jewish Catacomb Villa Torlonia.
Representations of Jesus: in the earliest catacomb paintings there is still no representation of the person of Jesus, with respect to Canon 36 of the Synod of Elvira, beginning of the fourth century. During this period, however, the figure of a youthful philosopher is occasionally depicted. After the fourth century Jesus appears in scenes of the resurrection of Lazarus, as conqueror over death, a thought closely linked to the theology of victory of the Roman emperors. The early representations of the passion distance themselves clearly from the crucifixion and from the suffering Jesus, (sarcophagus of Junius Bassus).
The Cross appears as the symbol of victory, of the Last Judgement and of the resurrection, (crux gemmata, Apses of Santa Pudenziana and Santi Cosma e Damiano)
Resurrection and ascension to God: this theme illustrates the close relationship between Jewish and Christian art. Moses’ ascent of Mount Sinai, (Byzantine manuscript, tenth century, or the mosaics of Santa Katharina Basilica, Sinai) is associated with the resurrection of Christ (Munich ivory from the year 400).
A central theme of early Christian and Jewish art is the representation of God. We do not find an anthropomorphic representation of God. God’s intervention is shown through images of God’s hand (Dura Europos Synagogue, Munich ivory).
The image of the ascension in the old Syriac Rabbula Gospel from the year 586 referring to the visions of Ezekiel can be set by side these early Christian representations. Here the figure of Christ rising in the radiance of a rainbow can be compared to the representations of the returning victorious emperors. Thus it transpires that the early Christian illustrations of the passion and resurrection are first and foremost about victory over death (Rabbula Codex, Ascension to Heaven).
Further sources can be found in: Kurt Schubert, Die Entwicklung der Auferstehungslehre von der nachexilischen bis zur frührabbinischen Zeit (The Development of the Teaching on Resurrection from post-exile to early Rabbinic times), BZ 6, 1962, p. 177-214.
