Art and Piety in the Female Religious Communities of Renaissance Italy: Iconography, Space and the Religious Woman's Perspective Book

Art and Piety in the Female Religious Communities of Renaissance Italy is the first systematic study of the function, character, and commissions of art in conventual communities. Anabel Thomas challenges assumptions about art works in religious establishments populated by women, among them, that such communities contained few works of art; that these works did not have gender-specific qualities; and that religious women played no role in commissioning such imagery or in influencing its design and purpose. Thomas's groundbreaking study examines the role and influence of gender on religious imagery in the early modern period.Read More
