This book provides a fully contextualised overview on aspects of
visual culture, and how this was the product of patronage,
politics, and religion in some European countries between the 13th
and 17th centuries. The research that is showcased here offers new
perspectives on the conception, production and reception of
artworks as a means of projecting core values, ideals, and
traditions of individuals, groups, and communities. This volume
features contributions from established scholars and new
researchers in the field, and examines how art contributed to the
construction of identities by means of new archival research and a
thorough interdisciplinary approach. The authors suggest that the
use of conventions in style and iconography allowed the local and
wider community to take part in rituals and devotional practices
where these works were widely recognized symbols. However,
alongside established traditions, new, ad-hoc developments in style
and iconography were devised to suit individual requirements, and
these are fully discussed in relevant case-studies. This book also
contributes to a new understanding of the interaction between
artists, patrons, and viewers in Medieval and Renaissance times.
