Neste romance ricamente construído, a escritora Laurie Albanese e a historiadora da arte Laura Morowitz levam o leitor a um passeio pela Itália renascentista, em um dos mais fascinantes e gloriosos períodos na longa história do país. Inspiradas em uma história real, as autoras entrelaçam fatos e ficção para traçar um belo retrato da época e de um comovente caso de amor proibido. No ano de 1456, a pequena e belíssima vila de Prato, na Itália, vive o auge da Renascença. Nessa época de fecunda criatividade, em que as artes e a cultura têm papel fundamental, um nome se destaca na cidade: Frei Filippo Lippi. Talentoso pintor, além de receber importantes encomendas da Igreja Católica para criar obras de arte que celebram Deus e toda a Sua glória, tem como seu principal mecenas o poderoso Cosimo de Médici. No entanto, a vida desse sensível artista não se resume às artes; Frei Filippo é também o capelão das freiras do convento Santa Margherita, e é justamente entre os muros do claustro que ele encontra a maior tentação de sua vida. Abençoada por uma beleza angelical, a jovem órfã Lucrezia Buti recolhe-se ao convento mais por necessidade do que por vocação. Inebriado pelos perfeitos traços de Lucrezia, o frei vê em seu belo rosto a perfeita inspiração para inúmeras Madonas. Sob a proteção de poderosos amigos e de uma priora sem escrúpulos, Frei Filippo consegue permissão para receber visitas de Lucrezia em seu ateliê. Pintor e musa logo se unem em um estimulante turbilhão de descoberta artística e surge então uma irrefreável paixão entre o artista e a noviça. Os dois vivem um escandaloso relacionamento condenado pela Igreja que, apesar de inspirar algumas das principais obras de Lippi, ameaça destruí-los. O romance provoca repulsa, inveja, vingança... e somente um milagre de fé inabalável poderá salvá-los. Uma maravilhosa narrativa histórica que une personagens reais e fictícios, Milagres em Prato é uma emocionante leitura sobre desejo e devoção numa época e num lugar extraordinários onde a fé e a arte eram, acima de tudo, religiosamente respeitadas.

While the modern world has largely dismissed the figure of the saint as a throwback, we remain fascinated by excess, marginality, transgression, and porous subjectivity—categories that define the saint. In this collection, Françoise Meltzer and Jas Elsner bring together top scholars from across the humanities to reconsider our denial of saintliness and examine how modernity returns to the lure of saintly grace, energy, and charisma. Addressing such problems as how saints are made, the use of saints by political and secular orders, and how holiness is personified, Saints takes us on a photo tour of Graceland and the cult of Elvis and explores the changing political takes on Joan of Arc in France. It shows us the self-fashioning of culture through the reevaluation of saints in late-antique Judaism and Counter-Reformation Rome, and it questions the political intent of underlying claims to spiritual attainment of a Muslim sheikh in Morocco and of Sephardism in Israel. Populated with the likes of Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, and Padre Pio, this book is a fascinating inquiry into the status of saints in the modern world.

Allí conoce al pintor y se convierte en su fuente de inspiración para retratar a las madonnas de sus cuadros, surgiendo entre los dos un amor más fuerte que toda la tradición que se les opone.

The history of art in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance has generally been written as a story of elites: bankers, noblemen, kings, cardinals, and popes and their artistic interests and commissions. Recent decades have seen attempts to recast the story in terms of material culture, but the focus seems to remain on the upper strata of society. In his inclusive analysis of art from 1300 to 1600, Rembrandt Duits rectifies this. Bringing together thought-provoking ideas from art historians, historians, anthropologists and museum curators, The Art of the Poor examines the role of art in the lower social classes of Europe and explores how this influences our understanding of medieval and early modern society. Introducing new themes and raising innovative research questions through a series of thematically grouped short case studies, this book gives impetus to a new field on the cusp of art history, social history, urban archaeology, and historical anthropology. In doing so, this important study helps us re-assess the very concept of 'art' and its function in society.

Research on pilgrimage has traditionally fallen across a series of academic disciplines - anthropology, archaeology, art history, geography, history and theology. To date, relatively little work has been devoted to the issue of pilgrimage as writing and specifically as a form of travel-writing. The aim of the interdisciplinary essays gathered here is to examine the relations of Christian pilgrimage to the numerous narratives, which it generates and upon which it depends. Authors reveal not only the tensions between oral and written accounts but also the frequent ambiguities of journeys - the possibilities of shifts between secular and sacred forms and accounts of travel. Above all, the papers reveal the self-generating and multiple-authored characteristics of pilgrimage narrative: stories of past pilgrimage experience generate future stories and even future journeys. Simon Coleman moved to Sussex University in 2004, having spent 11 years at Durham University as Lecturer and then Reader in Anthropology, and Deputy Dean for the Faculty of Social Sciences and Health. John Elsner is Senior Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

In this book, Diana Bullen Presciutti explores how images of miracles performed by mendicant saints-reviving dead children, redeeming the unjustly convicted, mending broken marriages, quelling factional violence, exorcising the demonically possessed-actively shaped Renaissance Italians' perceptions of pressing social problems related to gender, sexuality, and honor. She argues that depictions of these miracles by artists-both famous (Donatello, Titian) and anonymous-played a critical role in defining and conceptualizing threats to family honor and social stability. Drawing from art history, history, religious studies, gender studies, and sociology, Presciutti's interdisciplinary study reveals how miracle scenes-whether painted, sculpted, or printed-operated as active agents of 'lived religion' and social negotiation in the spaces of the Renaissance Italian city.
