Opis

Lisa Pon examines the cultural biography of the city of Forlì's miraculous woodcut, the Madonna of the Fire.

Recenzje

'As a contribution to the history of Renaissance prints, Pon's unique microhistory of the Madonna del Fuoco situates the printed image in the rich context of miracle-working images in various media, modes of enshrinement and the culture of relics, civic pride and political rivalries, monuments, chronicles and festivals, and even the practices of Renaissance fire brigades.' Evelyn Lincoln, Art in Print
