Résumé
This article discusses the images of Jews on the shrine of San Vicente, Sabina and Cristeta in the Basílica de San Vicente in Ávila, their relationship to the overall programme of the church and its relationship to the audience. It argues that the images of Jews on the shrine are embedded in Anti-Jewish ecclesiastical thought, while simultaneously fulfilling a specific function that supports the purpose of the monument as a shrine. The article furthermore relates the visual programme of the shrine to the sculptural programme of the church exterior in order show how these visual elements of the site were intertwined and guided the faithful to the shrine, where they witnessed both image of Jewish conversion and of Jewish culpability.
