Konfigurationen der Verehrung im frühneuzeitlichen Italien

Frame Images: Configurations of Veneration in Early Modern Italy

Isabella Augart

Volume 25 in the series Italienische Forschungen des Kunsthistorischen Institutes in Florenz, I Mandorli

Overview

About this book

This study focusses on the development, design, and function of altarpieces that feature embedded sacred images in 15^th to 17^th century Italy. Particularly in the case of older Marian images, artists designed their own altarpieces as a framework and to draw the spectator’s visual and emotional attention. The author systematically addresses this genre of “frame pictures.” A catalogue section reveals their iconographic and stylistic continuity.
