Summary
"Published on the 500th anniversary of the death of Heronymuys Bosch, this book examines Christian views of non-Christians as revealed in late medieval and early modern visual culture in order to deepen our understanding of one of his greatest works and its reception over time. Taking as her point of departure the famous Epiphany triptych housed today in the Prado Museum in Madrid, the author analyzes how images of Jews, Muslims, and Black Africans for centuries helped shape western Christian perceptions of salvation history, contemporary political conflicts, and the status of the Roman Catholic Church."
