Drawing upon a vast range of sources, Kaminska demonstrates that visual imagery held a central place in premodern disability discourses, and that the exegesis of New Testament miracle stories determined key attitudes toward the sick and the poor. Addressed to middle-class collectors, many of the images analyzed in this study have hitherto been neglected by art historians. 410 0$aBrill's Studies on Art, Art History, and Intellectual History ;$v58. 606 $aArt and society 615 0$aArt and society. 676 $a701.03 700 $aKaminska$b Barbara A.$01624630 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910822135603321 996 $aImages of miraculous healing in the early modern Netherlands$93974179 997 $aUNINA
