| Abstract | This is the third of a three-session series intended to investigate how entanglements among medieval artworks channelled existing social networks within communities, e.g., monastic orders and political environments, for the creation of a new shared history that transcends differences. This session focuses on medieval cities. Paper -a interprets the polychrome wood Deposition from Santa María la Real de las Huelgas, near Burgos, as the site of a communal commemorative process, paper -b questions the social distinction of the spectators of a painted monument in the 14th-century commune of Treviso, Paper -c reappraises the role of the Vallombrosan monks in the flourishing of artistic activity in 15th-century Florence. |
