    • During the late 1970s and 1980s Hans Belting devoted enormous scholarly energy to an inquiry into the problem of holy images in the Orthodox East and the Latin West before ca. 1500.

See, e.g., his "Introduction," and "Die Reaktion der Kunst des 13. Jahrhunderts auf den Import von Reliquien und Ikonen," in Il Medio Oriente e l'Occidente nell'Arte del XIII Secolo, H. Belting, ed., Atti del XXIV Congresso Internazionale de Storia dell'Arte, Bologna, 1979, vol. 2, Bologna, 1982, pp. 1-8, 35-53, his "An Image and Its Function in the Liturgy: The Man of Sorrows in Byzantium," Dumbarton Oaks Papers, 34-35 (1980-81), pp. 1-16, and his "The `Byzantine Madonnas': New Facts about their Origin and Some Observations on Duccio," Studies in the History of Art, 12 (1982), pp. 7-22, among others. The present book, Likeness and Presence, represents a culmination of his ambitious attempts to address the history of the holy image.
