| Abstract | The crusades were a pivotal force for change on the cultural frontiers of the medieval world, and numerous scholars in the fields of history and literature have explored the integration of crusading ideology into the general fabric of medieval society. However, a lacuna remains in the explorations of how the crusading movement impacted, and was reflected in, medieval visual culture. While the existing studies have privileged manuscripts, the two sessions, split according to the chronological principle, will focus on representations of the crusades in monumental art: mural paintings, sculpture and stained glass windows. |
