| Abstract | Luxury art made of precious materials, are almost automatically related to royal courts. In this session, speakers present costly objects such as tapestries, manuscripts, capitals, and panel painting. Sometimes the clients of these works are related to courts, but just as often this is not the case. The speakers will investigate if style and iconography can be compared with those common to the (imperial) court, or has a personal style and iconography been developed for the client. |
