Item description from seller

Neuware - Since its beginnings, art history has turned on the power of artists' names. Exhibitions, galleries, and books revolve around them, and artists' personas continue to captivate audiences. Medieval art, however, has long been cast as an exception--a world thought to lack known makers, where piety eclipsed personality and anonymous craftspeople served God rather than fame. Names to Remember takes a new and nuanced look at this longstanding paradigm. Focusing on Europe from ca. 700 to ca. 1200, Heidi C. Gearhart uncovers a surprising abundance of names, stories, and images of artists and examines how they functioned within their cultural and material contexts. Drawing on inscriptions, saints' lives, chronicles, and artworks, she shows that naming an artist was rarely a neutral act: it could invite contemplation, signal virtue, or shape social and spiritual identities.By revealing how remembrance--and forgetting--helped define artistry itself, Names to Remember reimagines the place of the artist in medieval culture. Gearhart demonstrates how gender, status, and devotion determined whose names endured and whose were lost, offering a new understanding of authorship and artistic value in the Middle Ages. This study will engage art historians, medievalists, and scholars of gender and cultural memory seeking to understand how the very idea of the artist was formed.…
