Publisher Description An examination of women as mothers in medieval French sculpture.What can medieval sculptural representations of women tell us about medieval womens experiences of motherhood? Presumably the work of male sculptors, working for clerical patrons, these sculptures are unlikely to have been shaped by womens maternal experiences during their production. Once produced, however, their beholders would have included women who were mothers and potential mothers, thus opening a space between the sculptures intended meanings and other meanings liable to be produced by these women as they brought their own interests and concerns to these works of art.Building on theories of reception and response, this book focuses on interactions between women asbeholders and a range of sculptures made in France in the twelfth through sixteenth centuries, aiming to provide insight into womens experiences of motherhood; particular sculptures considered include the Annunciation and Visitation from Reims cathedral, the femme-aux-serpents from Moissac, the transi of Jeanne de Bourbon-Vendome, the Eve from Autun, and a number of French Gothic Virgin and Child sculptures.Marian Bleeke is Associate Professor of Art History and Chair of the Department of Art and Design at Cleveland State University.
