Art as propaganda is traditionally thought to be used as a tool of monarchs in cementing their role. In addition to coins with the king’s face and seals featuring the king in majesty, the king’s face could also appear on public art such as statues, stained glass, and even frescoes. This essay seeks to understand four pieces of stonework visible to the medieval public which would have featured two fourteenth-century queens of Hungary: Elizabeth of Poland (d. 1380), wife of Charles I Robert, and Elizabeth of Bosnia (d. 1387), wife of Louis I ‘the Great’ (r.

This essay discusses the Disease Woman schema on folio 52v in Wellcome MS 290, a medical illustration often neglected in modern scholarship, and considers how it related to late medieval ideas about the gendered human body. The figure is positioned within its original manuscript context and compared to the other (male) bodies depicted, as well as discussed in relationship to other medical illustrations and contemporary scientific and theological theories. Through close study of formal features and intervisual analysis, this essay shows that the Disease Woman functioned not just to describe illness or ailments, but also to emphasise women’s inferior bodies and status.

When the story of Bathsheba's Bath appeared in Late Medieval Books of Hours, it always prefaced the Penitential Psalms in these manuscripts. Traditionally, these Penitential Psalms were associated with the Deadly Sins. This article will explore the visual and textual implications of this iconography in relation to its placement in Books of Hours and it will emphasize the visual narrative strategies that the artists used to prepare the reader-viewer for the appropriate performance of penitence.

Among other corbels on the façade of the Church of San Martin de Tours in Artáiz (Navarra Spain, twelfth century), an interesting relief depicts a woman while giving birth. Childbirth in medieval art is a fascinating subject, as it can portray the differences between medieval and contemporary attitudes regarding sex and gender. How is childbirth depicted? Why is it depicted at all? This essay will analyze the meaning and scope of the childbirth relief within the context of early Medieval culture and recent research in Romanesque marginal art.

The Romanesque sculpture from Santiago de Compostela’s Puerta de las Platerías, known as the Woman with the Skull, presents questions of origin. Using the competing methods of conceptual design prior to material execution and material priority over a conceptual construct which loom large in the portal’s formation, iconographical and historical content are related. The question of process points to polemical ideas that suspend the Woman between papal design and royal appropriation. Additionally, she is suspended between categorical identities like Luxuria and fanciful product of the chansons de gestes and historical identities like the wife, sister, and daughter of Alfonso VI.
圣地亚哥·德·孔波斯特拉(Santiago de Compostela)的Puerta de las Platerías的罗马式雕塑，被称为骷髅女人，提出了起源问题。使用概念设计先于材料执行和材料优先于概念结构的竞争方法，在门户的形成中，图像和历史内容是相关的。过程的问题指向了将女人置于教皇设计和皇室拨款之间的争议性观点。此外，她被悬在像奢侈品这样的绝对身份和香松德的幻想产品之间，以及像阿方索六世的妻子、妹妹和女儿这样的历史身份之间。

Solomon’s wife is one of the most ambiguous female characters introduced in the anonymous French Queste del Saint Graal, an early-thirteenth-century Arthurian romance. She appears in an account that relates the prehistory of the Ship of Solomon and that is embedded in the Grail quest narrative. Subsequent versions of the narrative, such as Thomas Malory’s “Tale of the Sankgreal,” transform her into an “evil,” sinful wife. This paper explores the representation of Solomon’s wife in two late medieval illuminated manuscripts of the Lancelot-
