"This interdisciplinary collection of articles offers new perspectives on the study of the visual culture of the Baltic Sea region in the 15th and the early 16th centuries. The artistic production of Bernt Notke and other artists of that period is set in a broad historical, social, spatial and liturgical context. Special attention is paid to the various functions of images, the (self-)representation of patrons, and the interrelation between images and saints' cults"--Back cover.
