[A] model study: clear, absorbing, and significant." —Neil Harris, author of The Artist in American Society"Sally Promey's inquiry . . . critically engages current issues in the study of visual culture: what do images do; how do they work; what needs do they fulfill; just what is their 'power'? Her compelling case study joins fundamental concerns of art historians with those of students of religion and history . . .
