Description

Explore the complex relationship between sacred images and idols in early modern Europe with this scholarly work from Routledge's St Andrews Studies in Reformation History series. After 1500, as Catholic Europe fragmented and encounters with distant visual cultures multiplied, the distinction between sacred imagery and idolatry became increasingly urgent. While historians have extensively examined Reformation charges of idolatry that drove image-breaking movements, this book takes a fresh approach by investigating how ideas about idols influenced both their creation and destruction. The text examines the philosophical and historical dimensions of idol worship, the visual cultures encountered by European travellers, and the intellectual frameworks used to categorise religious objects. Essential reading for students of art history, religious studies, and early modern history seeking to understand how theological concepts shaped artistic practice and material culture during a period of profound religious and cultural transformation.

Key Features
