The Web of Images: Vernacular Preaching from Its Origins to Saint Bernardino of Siena: Vernacular Preaching from Its Origins to Saint Bernardino of Siena - Hardcover
This title was first published in 2003. Through her investigation of the mnemonic role of images in vernacular preaching and in mystical texts, the author moves beyond the traditional art-historical approach to late Mediaeval and Renaissance art which tends to concentrate on style and iconography. She shows how these images were viewed at the time of their creation, and offers new ways of reconstructing their meaning. By bringing her knowledge of rhetoric and the art of memory to bear on the visual arts she opens up new perspectives for the study of religious art and literature of the Renaissance, and shows how these images actually functioned within the everyday context of the liturgy and of the life of the common people.
