Description
This book explores the extent to which artists of sixteenth-century Europe were influenced by ideas of religious reform. Analysing the content of major works by eight prominent artists, noted reformation scholar John Dillenberger argues that these artists' productions provide a fascinating map of the evolution and influence of major theological currents of their time.
Reviews / Votes
The heart of this book, and its most important contribution, lies in its series of carefully wrought case studies of individual artists. John Dillenberger makes profitable use of the most recent interdisciplinary scholarship, while adding penetrating and original insights of his own ... Images and Relics now clearly ranks as our best general introduction to Reformation art. * Carl C.Christensen, Historian, Spring 2001 *More details
