Images and Relics: Theological Perceptions and Visual Images in Sixteenth-Century Europe (Oxford Studies in Historical Theology) - Hardcover
Synopsis
John Dillenberger has written the first comprehensive account of the relation between the visual arts and theological currents in Europe during the first half of the sixteenth century. With an astute knowledge of the theology of the period and a keen interest in the lives and work of prominent artists, Dillenberger makes incisive connections that illuminate the cultural movements of the time.
Images and Relics considers both popular and professional art within distinct religious contexts. It examines the works of Matthias Grunewald, Albrecht Durer, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Michelangelo, Hans Holbein the Younger, Hans Baldung Grien, and Albrecht Altdorfer, and demonstrates how these artists expressed and transformed the reigning theological ideas of their day. The book also addresses the range of iconoclastic movements from the 1520s to the 1570s, particularly in northern Europe. Finally, Dillenberger reflects on the ambiguity of the history of this period and its continuing impact on modern-day life.

Review
"...a thoroughly researched and often elegantly written survey...Images and Relics now clearly ranks as our best general introduction to Reformation art."--Historian
"The need for a comprehensive study of the relationship between historical theology and the visual culture of Europe motivated this study...The issues presented and the theological background of the author should stimulate an engaging debate on the relationship between theological perceptions
and visual images in sixteenth-century Europe." Sixteen Century Journal
"Dillenberger is to be commended for his effort to link theology and images."--American Historical Review
