An interdisciplinary study of the changing attitudes to Mary as a religious symbol in post-Reformation Germany.

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.
