Reforming the Image: Idols and Iconoclasm in Early Modern Europe
How might Renaissance artworks, in their mediality and materiality, stage critical processes we associate with modernity? The book I am writing aims to contribute a new view of the multiple reformations that shaped European modernity, beyond the Protestant North. Focusing on statues and sculptures and depiction across media, it re-interprets sixteenth-century images as reflexive sites of inquiry regarding intersecting idolatries in religion and art. In their staging of internalized forms of critique, I argue, these early artworks forecast an iconoclastic criticality we associate with the Enlightenment and European modernity: the smashing of the idols of the mind. Within the context of the research group, I am pursuing the idea of sculpture as epistemological structure, with Michelangelo’s Rondanini pietà as exemplar.
