The church of Santa Maria Donna Regina in Naples is a rare example
of aristocratic convent architecture in Italy, designed and built
for the devotional use of the Clarissan nuns. Its decorative
programme rivals that of Giotto's Arena Chapel in Padua in scope,
iconographical complexity, and quality of artistic production. The
first book in English on this important church, this elegantly
written volume is also the first full-scale study to bring together
innovative interdisciplinary research on the building. The authors
explore themes relating to the architecture, decoration, sculpture,
iconography, audience, liturgy, and patronage of Santa Maria Donna
Regina, enriching our understanding of the art patronage of royal
women and the monastic experience of Clarissan nuns, as well as the
politics, culture and patronage of trecento Naples. Over one
hundred illustrations, many commissioned specially for the book,
accompany the text.
