Starting in the 1490s, Italy passed through a phase of religious conflict, one that anticipated and ran parallel to the Reformation of northern Europe. A season of controversy put religious images newly under scrutiny, provoking radical investigations into their modes and traditions. Could they reliably convey sacred truth and power, and if so, how? Was the artist a transmitter or an interpreter, or both? This book is a major re-appraisal of a critical period of art-making from an acclaimed historian of art, professor of Renaissance art history at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University.
