The anthology of original sources from c.1400 to 1650, translated
from Italian or Latin, and accompanied by introductions and
bibliographies, is concerned with women's varied involvement with
the visual arts and material culture of their day. The reader gains
a sense of women not only as patrons of architecture, painting,
sculpture and the applied arts, but as users of art both on special
occasions, like civic festivities or pilgrimages, and in everyday
social and devotional life. As they seek to adapt and embellish
their persons and their environments, acquire paintings for solace
or prestige, or cultivate relationships with artists, women emerge
as discerning participants in the consumer culture of their time,
and often as lively commentators on it. Their fervent participation
in religious life is also seen in their use of art in devotional
rituals, or their commissioning of tombs or altarpieces to
perpetuate their memory and aid them in the afterlife. -- .
