This international conference (May 26th to 28th of 2010) addressed the question of the multiple roles played by medieval women—among them patron, artist, and owner—in the areas of art and architecture throughout western Europe and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. Works of Christian, Muslim, Jewish, pagan, and secular origins, including textiles, manuscripts, sculpture, wall paintings, and architecture (fifth to sixteenth centuries) were the subjects of interdisciplinary analysis by thirty scholars from the fields of history, art history, and archaeology.
