Investigating the complex interactions between devotional imagery
and Church doctrine in the Low Countries during the fifteenth
century, this book demonstrates how the pictorial arts intersected
with popular religious practice. The author reconstructs the
conceptual frameworks underlying the use and production of
religious art in this period and provides a more nuanced
understanding of the use of images in the process of soul
formation. This study delves into the complexity of the early
modern system of personal justification and argues that religious
images and objects were part of a larger 'Technology of Salvation.'
In order to make these connections clearer, the author analyzes
selected works by Geertgen tot Sint Jans (Little Gerard at St.
John's) and shows how they functioned within their larger social
and historical milieu.
