Opis produktu

Analyzing the artistic patronage of famous and lesser known women of Renaissance Mantua and introducing new patronage paradigms that existed among those women this study sheds new light the social cultural and religious impact of the cult of female mystics of that city in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century. Author Sally Hickson combines primary archival research contextual analysis of the climate of female mysticism and a reexamination of a number of visual objects (particularly altarpieces devoted to local beatae saints and female founders of religious orders) to delineate ties between women both outside and inside the convent walls. The study contests the accepted perception of Isabella dEste as a purely secular patron exposing her role as a religious patron as well. Hickson introduces the figure of Margherita Cantelma and documents concerning the building and decoration of her monastery on the part of Isabella dEste: and draws attention to the cultural and political activities of nuns of the Gonzaga family particularly Isabellas daughter Livia Gonzaga who became a powerful agent in Mantuan civic life.
