Women, Art, And Society by WhitneyChadwick questions
If anyone has read this book, Ineed help with a couple of questions:
“Hildegard of Bingen left abody of work unparalled in its range“
1 How did she contribute toreligion?
2 How was her contribution to theChurch recognized?
3 Did she challenge the Church’sviews on women? If so, how? If not, why not?
1 Noting that fifteen centurywomen were skilled artists in Renaissance Florence; do you think their work waswell represented during this period? Why is it that we only hear little if any,of women artists of that period in Florence?
2 What caused the shift ofwomenâ??s role in visual culture from one of production to one of beingrepresented?
3 What were the circumstancesthat led to the formation of the â??Confraternity of Paintersâ? in 1349?
