The Image Breakers is a historical novel written by Gertrude Dix and published in 1900. The story takes place in the 16th century during the Reformation period in Europe. The main character is a young man named Jan van Leyden, who becomes a leader of a group of Anabaptists in the city of Munster, Germany. The Anabaptists are a radical religious group who reject the authority of the Catholic Church and believe in the separation of church and state. As the story unfolds, Jan and his followers take control of the city and establish a new order based on their religious beliefs. They destroy all images and symbols of the Catholic Church, including statues, paintings, and stained glass windows. This act of iconoclasm leads to a violent conflict with the Catholic authorities, who send an army to retake the city. The novel explores themes of religious fanaticism, political power, and the relationship between religion and art. It also portrays the struggle between different religious factions during a tumultuous period in European history. The Image Breakers is a vivid and engaging account of a little-known episode in the Reformation era, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and political upheavals of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
