About this title

Synopsis

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.
