Description

Explore the fascinating history of sacred art in Renaissance Florence with this scholarly work from Yale University Press. Megan Holmes examines the unique role of paintings and sculptures of the Virgin Mary and Christ that were believed to possess extraordinary power for sacred intercession. Starting in the late 13th century, various cults formed around these miraculous images throughout the city and the surrounding countryside. This book investigates what set these specific artworks apart from other sacred images of the period. By looking at material and formal properties, the process of enshrinement, and the foundation legends and miracles associated with these objects, the text provides a deep look into the religious life of the era. This title is a valuable addition for readers interested in art history, Renaissance studies, and the cultural impact of religious icons in Italy.
