Image description

The Iconoclasts. This was a name applied in the eighth and ninth centuries to the opponents of the use of images in Christian cult. The emperor Leo II (c 680-740 AD) was one of the most prominent leaders of this sect; his vigorous actions in Greece led to a revolt, which was crushed by the Imperial fleet. His troops are here shown destroying the sacred images in Constantinople in opposition to popular feeling. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).
