In the fifteenth century, the Oblates of Santa Francesca Romana, a
fledgling community of religious women in Rome, commissioned an
impressive array of artwork for their newly acquired living
quarters, the Tor de'Specchi. The imagery focused overwhelmingly on
the sensual, corporeal nature of contemporary spirituality,
populating the walls of the monastery with a highly naturalistic
assortment of earthly, divine, and demonic figures. This book draws
on art history, anthropology, and gender studies to explore the
disciplinary and didactic role of the images, as well as their
relationship to important papal projects at the Vatican.
