Journées d’étude : « Picturing Sainthood: Images and the Making of Saints in Early Modern Global Catholicism », Rome, Bibliotheca Hertziana, 19-21 juin 2024

Encompassing a wide range of media, from inexpensive medals and woodcuts to costly altarpieces, images were as crucial at the grassroots level of popular devotion as in the context of elite patronage. The conference Picturing Sainthood: Images and the Making of Saints in Early Modern Global Catholicism investigates...

How was an individual saint’s bodily ailment investigated in the inquests, and how did the witnesses (re)construct the saintly candidates’ ailments? What meanings were given to infirmity when providing proofs for...

And it is irrelevant whether the person is a historical or fictional figure. Around 50 exhibits from the 13th to 15th century, highlights...
