The relationship between art and religion has long been a major focus of art-historical research. The collection of essays edited by Jorge Tomás García and Sandra Sáenz-López Pérez presents a chronologically wide range of examples in Western art of changes in the appearance or interpretation of ‘cult images’ considered in the light of Robert Graves’s concept of ‘iconotropy’.
