An examination of women as mothers in medieval French sculpture.
What can medieval sculptural representations of women tell us about
medieval women's experiences of motherhood? Presumably the work of
male sculptors, working for clerical patrons, these sculptures are
unlikely to have been shaped by women's maternal experiences during
their production. Once produced, however, their beholders would
have included women who were mothers and potential mothers, thus
opening a space between the sculptures' intended meanings and other
meanings liable to be produced by these women as they brought their
own interests and concerns to these works of art. Building on
theories of reception and response, this book focuses on
interactions between women asbeholders and a range of sculptures
made in France in the twelfth through sixteenth centuries, aiming
to provide insight into women's experiences of motherhood;
particular sculptures considered include the Annunciation and
Visitation from Reims cathedral, the femme-aux-serpents from
Moissac, the transi of Jeanne de Bourbon-Vendome, the Eve from
Autun, and a number of French Gothic Virgin and Child sculptures.
Marian Bleeke is Associate Professor of Art History and Chair of
the Department of Art and Design at Cleveland State University.
