This workshop is open to the public. It focuses on processes of visualization in religious contexts in early modern Europe and colonial Latin America. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective and bringing together scholars working on different countries and confessional denominations, the workshop addresses the following questions: Does a specific ‘religious gaze’ exist? How did contemporaries appropriate religious imagery? Were sacred and profane iconographies separated, or was there rather a common ground between the everyday and the holy? Does the comparison of different case studies or a transnational perspective offer links that reveal the inter-confessional and intercultural dimensions of visualized religiosity?
