The mendicants were prolific patrons relying on artworks to instruct and impress their diverse lay congregations. Churches and chapels were built and new images and iconographies developed to propagate mendicant cults. But how should the two phenomena be related How much were these orders actively responsible for artistic change and how much did they simply benefit from it To explore these questions "Art and the Augustinian Order in Early Renaissance Italy" looks at art in the formative period of the Augustinian Hermits an order with a particularly difficult relation to art. As a first detailed study of visual culture in the Augustinian order this book will be a basic resource making available previously inaccessible material discussing both well-known and more neglected artworks and engaging with fundamental methodological questions for pre-modern art and church history from the creation of religious iconographies to the role of gender in art. . 2007. 0754656551 .
