Summary, etc Before the Renaissance and Reformation, holy images were treated not as<br/>"art" but as objects of veneration which possessed the tangible presence<br/>of the Holy. In this magisterial book, Hans Belting traces the long<br/>history of the sacral image and its changing role in European culture.<br/>Likeness and Presence looks at the beliefs, superstitions, hopes,<br/>and fears that come into play as people handle and respond to sacred<br/>images, and presents a compelling interpretation of the place of the<br/>image in Western history.<br/><br/>"A rarity within its genre—an art-historical analysis of iconography<br/>which is itself iconoclastic. . . . One of the most intellectually<br/>exciting and historically grounded interpretations of Christian<br/>iconography." —Graham Howes, Times Literary Supplement<br/><br/>"Likeness and Presence offers the best source to survey the facts of<br/>what European Christians put in their churches. . . . An impressively<br/>detailed contextual analysis of medieval objects." —Robin Cormack,<br/>New York Times Book Review<br/><br/>"I cannot begin to describe the richness or the imaginative grandeur of<br/>Hans Belting's book. . . . It is a work that anyone interested in art,<br/>or in the history of thought about art, should regard as urgent reading.<br/>It is a tremendous achievement."—Arthur C. Danto, New Republic
