When Emperor Leo III
caned\ to power, he brought •
with him a deep hatred of all
images, especially icons, say

pedia Americana.
As an Iconoclast—hater of
icons -- Leo forbade the cre-
ation of religious figures and
images, and the Iconoclastic
Age began in 726. '
Paintings on church walls
were whitewashed, ivories
and mosaics removed, count-
less works of art destroyed.
