This
anthology reflects a larger impulse to recover women's involvement
in the creation of an aesthetic culture from the late medieval through
the early modern periods. By asking how the perspectives and experiences
of female patrons contributed to the invention of particular styles
or iconographies, or how they shaped taste, or what kind of impact
they had on demand, these twelve original essays introduce significant
new information about specific women patrons while raising theoretical
issues for patronage studies more generally.
Contributors are Carla Lord, Alexandra Carpino, Clifford Brown,
Carolyn Smyth, Sheila ffolliott, Alice T. Friedman, Geraldine A.
Johnson, Marilyn Dunn, Kathleen Szpila, Cynthia Lawrence, Magdalena
Kasman, Elena Ciletti, and Nadia Tscherny.
Cynthia
