In this book, Robert Maniura explores the role and importance of
the miraculous image in the art and devotional practices of
Renaissance Italy. Using the records of Giuliano Guizzelmi, a
Tuscan lawyer, he focuses on his stories of miracles of local
shrines, including Santa Maria delle Carceri, a painting of the
Virgin Mary on a wall of the town prison, and the relic of her belt
in the Prato Cathedral. Guizzelmi's stories build a powerful
picture of the visual culture of the period, involving images that
were kissed, worn and applied to sick bodies in rituals of healing.
They also place his devotional activity in the context of his
everyday life. Moreover, the paintings of Guizzelmi's burial chapel
also engage with contemporary pictorial conventions and show how
his concerns can inform our understanding of contemporary art,
notably the works of his late fifteenth-century contemporaries,
Ghirlandaio, Perugino and Filippino Lippi.
