Since ancient times, people have not only created images or worshiped them, but also attacked them: they smash, burn, sometimes deliberately mutilate - decapitate or blind. Most often, violence falls on the images of (foreign) gods and (overthrown) rulers. It accompanies most religious and political revolutions, as well as many armed conflicts, but it is also embedded in everyday life - in the relationships that a person builds with the invisible world, power and other people. This book is devoted to the various motives that prompted the attack on visual images in Europe of the "Long Middle Ages". From "revenge" against demons and sinners drawn on pages of manuscripts, to beating statues of saints to force them to help. From the iconoclastic war waged by iconoclastic Protestants against Catholic "idols" to the moral censorship that hurried to cover up or hide images of naked bodies from view.
