ABSTRACT
During the middle years of the fifteenth century, the nuns at San Domenico commissioned works of art that related specifically to their liturgies, their ideals, and their life in community. This chapter examines a group of paintings of female and male saints from the convent that were in all likelihood intended to be seen only by the nuns themselves. The sisters interacted with these images on many levels; one aim of this chapter is to explore the meanings the convent audience drew from them.
