Cet article synthétise la théologie protestante des images en montrant qu’elle
vise à prévenir l’idolâtrie. Il rappelle que l’iconoclasme de la Réforme a été
sélectif. Il souligne l’existence de peintres protestants, de Hans Holbein le
Jeune à André Bieler. Il explique comment les principaux réformateurs ont
traité la question des images. Il distingue les positions luthérienne et calviniste,
notamment quant à leur interprétation du commandement biblique
qui interdit les idoles. Il précise enfin à quelles conditions une image peut
transmettre l’Évangile. This paper synthesizes protestant theology of pictures, showing that its aim
