What objection did the iconoclasts have to a painting such as this one? the gold decoration appeals too much to greed. mary and the baby jesus are too dark-skinned. the image promotes worship of mary over god. images of religious figures are idol worship.

The correct answer is the fourth one: Images of religious figures are idol worship

The iconoclasts were a religious movement of the Byzantine Empire that emerged between the 8th and the 9th centuries. This movement denied the cult and worship of religious images since they considered it idolatry, which is condemned in several passages of the Bible. During this period, many iconoclasts destroyed paintings, frescoes, sculptures, monuments, and other pieces of art and icons that portrayed religious images. According to iconoclasts, only religious images made of the same matter of the divine can be object of adoration, which is impossible, hence every form of veneration of images should be strictly prohibited. This controversy ended with the eradication of the iconoclasts and the victory of the iconodules, or image worshipers.
