The series Art & Religion was founded in 2011 by the Iconology Research Group. Editor in chief is Barbara Baert (Leuven). The series welcomes monographs and themes in the interdisciplinary field between Christian iconography and religion of the Middle Ages and Early Modernity. Art & Religion focuses on how iconology as a field and method relates to recent developments in the Humanities. Beyond methodological reflection, Art & Religion singles out the production and technologies of pictures (i), the significance and agency of images (ii), and the transfer and migration of motifs (iii) in Christian visual and material culture. Art & Religion is a peer-reviewed series published by Peeters.
