New interpretations of an art form ubiquitious in the Middle Ages.
New interpretations of an art form ubiquitious in the Middle Ages.

English alabasters played a seminal role in the artistic development of late medieval and early modern Europe. Carvings made of this lustrous white stone were sold throughout England and abroad, and as a result many survived the iconoclasm that destroyed so much else from this period. They are a unique and valuable witness to the material culture of the Middle Ages.
This volume incorporates a variety of new approaches to these artefacts, employing methodologies drawn from a number of different disciplines. Its chapters explore a range of key points connected to alabasters: their origins, their general history and their social, cultural, intellectual and devotional contexts.

ZULEIKA MURAT is a Research Fellow and Lecturer in the History of Medieval Art at the University of Padua.
