| Abstract | Medieval patronage functions pre-eminently to present a message. Precious manuscripts, expensive objects made of gold, silver, and gems, sculpture and architecture were not only ment to impress the medieval audience by their beauty and richness, but offered also an excellent platform to show the power of the patron by an iconographic program. |
