Likeness and Presence: A History of the Image before the Era of Art

All of these books are references that I will read in the future.

It does not happen very often that the lines of history are redrawn. Belting has done just this, not only about the past, but by very strong implication, about what is happening today. Is our current a-intentionalism a gateway into a new era of idolatry?

One of the first art historians to take a look at art in its context and according to its function. It's a great read for those interested in art, culture and religion.

I find this book of Hans Belting an authorized work and a remarkable profound study in its field. I think this book is very inspiring to understand what images make on us.I am very grateful for your help. It was very easy to purchase through your service. Many many thanksPedro

Belting's text is an essential one for anyone interested in the study of icons. A useful addition would be a visual diagram of the connections between chapters, however (Belting provides notes in the text, but these can seem like a maze).

very good condition.
