The Cult of St Clare of Assisi in Early Modern Italy

By: Dr Nirit Ben-Aryeh Debby

Through an examination of such diverse visual images as prints, drawings, panels, sculptures, minor arts, and frescoes, this book, a significant contribution to research in art history, sermon studies, gender studies, and theology, examines the representations of St Clare of Assisi in the Italian visual tradition from the thirteenth to the mid-seventeenth century. Debby highlights the role of women saints in the reform movements of the Osservanza and the Catholic Reformation, and in the face of Muslim-Christian encounter of the early modern era.

Zen Paintings in Edo Japan (1600-1868)

Playfulness and Freedom in the Artwork of Hakuin Ekaku and Sengai Gibon

By: Dr Galit Aviman

This book explores the playfulness reflected in the artwork of two prominent Japanese Zen monk-painters: Hakuin Ekaku (1685-1768) and Sengai Gibon (1750-1837). Aviman elaborates on the nature of this particular artistic expression and identifies its sources, focusing on the lives of the monk-painters and their artwork. The author combines a holistic analysis of the paintings, i.e. as interrelated combination of text and image, with a contextualization of the works within their specific environments.

Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes, c. 1350–1490

By: Dr Diana Hiller

The first monograph to appear in English on the Last Supper frescoes in Quattrocento Florence, this study examines the effect of gender on the contextualized perceptions of the male and female religious who viewed the Florentine Last Supper images. Using archival, literary and cultural sources, and by examining a wide range of contexts, Diana Hiller argues that the religious viewers’ perceptions of the refectory frescoes were gendered.
