Women, Art, and Spirituality: The Poor Clares of Early Modern Italy
situates the art made between the thirteenth and sixteenth
centuries for the Franciscan nuns in its historical and religious
contexts. Evaluating its production from sociological and
intellectual perspectives, this study also addresses the discourse
between spirituality, devotional practices, and aesthetic attitudes
as formalized in the construction and decoration of the women's
convents and in their didactic literature. Based on a range of
sources, it integrates important primary texts, such as Saint
Clare's rule, poetry composed by the nuns, financial records, and
family history in analysis of paintings, sculpture, and
architecture commissioned by the order. Also synthesized in this
ground-breaking study are recent theoretical developments in
anthropology, women's studies, history, and literature with
traditional iconographical and social approaches of art history.
