This companion provides a state-of-the-art assessment of the influence of the foremost iconographers, as well as the methodologies employed and themes that underpin the discipline. The first section focuses on influential thinkers in the field, while the second covers some of the best known methodologies; the third, and largest section, looks at some of the major themes in medieval art. Taken together, the three sections include over forty chapters, each of which deals with an individual topic. An introduction, historiographical evaluation and bibliography accompanies the individual essays.0The authors are recognized experts in the field, and each essay includes original analyses and/or case studies which will hopefully open the field for future research.
