Images of Cult and Devotion: Function and Reception of Christian Images in Medieval and Post-Medieval Europe - Hardcover
In recent decades, art historical writing has focused strongly on the use and reception of images. The contributions in this publication are devoted to two crucial concepts or functions of Christian images in the Middle Ages and the post-Reformation period: the image of cult and the image of devotion ('Andachtsbild').The contributions present and discuss visual art and the receptions and functions of pictures in the western (and eastern) European area from Late Antiquity to the 18th century. Furthermore, they bring into focus a rich Nordic material, which until now has been practically unknown in an international context. Several of the articles are are written in German.

About the Author:
Soren Kaspersen (1944) is Associate Professor at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen."
Review:
The goal of these symposia - "to place with greater strength than hitherto the Nordic material in the international discussion and context" - is well served by these adequately illustrated essays, twelve in English and four in German, representing a wide range of Scandinavian works of art.- Rebecca Leuchak, Roger William University, Religions Studies Reviews.
[T]he volume is well produced, with ample black-and-white reproductions throughout and color plates at the end, making accessible a body of material little known outside Scandinavia.... [C]ollectively [the articles] present a powerful critique of long-held assumptions about the categories and functions of images in Christian ritual settings. On a more pragmatic note, the essays are valuable for expanding the canon of medieval and early modern art history to include Nordic materials probably unfamiliar to the large and varied readership the volume deserves.- Jacqueline E. Jung, University of California, Berkely, Visual Resources, Vol. XXII, no. 2, June 2006.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In the later decades, art historical writing has focused strongly on the use and reception of images. The articles of this publication are devoted to two crucial concepts or functions of Christian images in the Middle Ages and post-Reformation period: the image of cult and the image of devotion (Andachtsbild'). The 16 contributors present and discuss visual art and the receptions and functions of pictures in the West (and East) European area from Late Antiquity to the 18th century. Furthermore, they bring into focus a rich Nordic material, which until now has been almost unknown in the international context. The articles are written in English and German. Contributors: Ake Andren, Henrik von Archen, Martin Blindheim, F.O. Buttner, Peter Dinzelbacher, Helena Edgren, Jens Fleischer, Signe Horn Fuglsang, Poul Grinder-Hansen, Ulla Hastrup, Soren Kaspersen, Ingalill Pegelow, Kees van der Ploeg, Hanne Kolind Poulsen and Aina Trotzig. Medieval pilgrims not only worshipped relics, they also venerated statues and paintings. These images or idols' were of particular importance in the day-to-day religion of ordinary people judged superstitious by the Church.
