From the Back Cover

This volume brings together historians and art historians to explore the ways in which religious art was transformed by the splintering of Western Christendom that began 500 years ago with Martin Luther's Reformation. The religious turmoil of the sixteenth century has long been seen as a turning point in the history of Christian art. The essays presented here focus not on destruction - on iconoclasm - but on the myriad ways in which both Protestant and Catholic reform stimulated the production of sacred art. The volume examines the nature of images created in Germany during the early years of the evangelical movement, asking how both theologians and artists responded to a new understating of Christian history and salvation. It then traces the rich and diverse Protestant visual cultures that developed during the confessional age, and explores the variety of Catholic responses to pressure for reform.

Bridget Heal is director of the Reformation Studies Institute at the University of St Andrews. She is the author of The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Early Modern Germany: Protestant and Catholic Piety, 1500-1648 (Cambridge University Press, 2007), and of A Magnificent Faith: Art and Identity in Lutheran Germany (Oxford University Press, 2017). She has published extensively on various aspects of Lutheran visual culture during the early modern period, and currently co-edits the journal German History.

Joseph Leo Koerner is the Thomas Professor of History of Art and Architecture and a Senior Fellow of the Society of Fellows, Harvard University. He was co-curator of the 2002 exhibition Iconoclash: Beyond the Image Wars (ZKM, Karlsruhe). His books include The Reformation of the Image (University of Chicago Press, 2004) and Bosch and Bruegel: From Enemy Painting to Everyday Life (Princeton University Press, 2016).
