In the fifteenth century, a fledgling community of religious women in Rome, the Oblates of Santa Francesca Romana, commissioned an impressive array of artwork for their newly acquired living quarters, the Tor de Specchi. The imagery focused overwhelmingly on the sensual,corporeal nature of contemporary spirituality, populating the walls of the monastery with a highly naturalistic assortment of earthly, divine, and demonic figures. This book draws on art history, anthropology, and gender studies to explore the disciplinary and didactic role of the images, as well as their relationship to important papal projects at the Vatican.
