"Conversion" in Religious Art
Keywords:
Conversion, Religious ArtAbstract
In order to consider the place of conversion for religious art, two preliminary matters must be considered. First, the process of religious art itself, what it is and how it relates to religion and art, must be dis- cussed, and then there must follow a brief inquiry into what I mean by the word "conversion". The final section will then be prepared to consider conversion in religious art.
