Das Herz in den Bildmedien religiöser Frauengemeinschaften
Frühneuzeitliche Körperkonzepte im Spannungsverhältnis von Konfession, Stand und Geschlecht
Abstract
The heart had a key position in the visual media of religious women’s communities in the early modern era. Maria Schaller analyzes portraits and image-bearing jewelry created in Catholic nunneries and Protestant women’s convents during the 17th and 18th centuries these address ideas such as the indwelling, imprinting, or inscribing of the divine in the human heart.
