The Good Shepherd in Early Christian Art Gathered for a slide presentation for a Bible study written by Dr. Rick Jordan

The Good Shepherd with his flock - Dura-Europos house in Syria, AD The earliest house converted to a church that we know of. One of the earliest depictions of Jesus in art.

Sarcofago 49 del buon pastore ( ca.) The Good Shepherd is the most common theme in earliest Christian art, usually found in frescos and sarcophagi (stone coffins) such as this one.

Baths of Diocletian, Rome, 4 th century AD An etching on marble.

The Good Shepherd in a garden, AD The Domitilla catacomb in Rome contains over nine miles of subterranean passages. This wall painting of the Good Shepherd is painted on an apse in the cubiculum (i.e., a large room). This image dates from CE.

Ceiling of Cubiculum in the Catacomb of Ss. Pietro and Marcellinus The image of the Good Shepherd is found approximately 120 times in the Roman catacombs, and it is especially common in the older ones.

Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Calixtus A mid-3rd century fresco of "The Good Shepherd" in the Catacomb of St. Calixtus in Rome. These catacombs are among the oldest and certainly the largest (12 miles of tunnels over 90 acres and four levels that house the remains of half a million Christians), and were the final resting place of 16 early popes.

Christian cubiculum tomb in the Catacomb of Priscilla in Rome, Italy Center of the ceiling of the “Velatio” cubicle: the Good Shepherd (also sheep and doves with olive branches in trees).
