Peindre au couvent, la culture visuelle d'un couvent médiéval
Work detail
This scholarly work examines the visual culture of a medieval convent through the lens of painting and image-making within monastic life. The study considers how convent spaces, devotional practices, and artistic production shaped the creation and use of images in a religious community. By focusing on a medieval convent as both an artistic and spiritual environment, it offers insight into the relationship between manuscript illumination, wall painting, devotional imagery, and the lived experience of enclosed religious women. The book frames visual objects as active participants in prayer, memory, instruction, and communal identity, making it relevant to readers interested in medieval art, religious culture, and the social meaning of images in monastic settings.
