From the publisher

In Praying to Portraits, art historian Adam Jasienski examines the history, meaning, and cultural significance of a crucial image type in the early modern Hispanic world: the sacred portrait. Across early modern Spain and Latin America, people prayed to portraits. They prayed to "true" effigies of saints, to simple portraits that were repainted as devotional objects, and even to images of living sitters depicted as holy figures.
