This book focuses on the comparatively unknown cults of new saints in late-mediaeval Venice. These new saints were near-contemporary citizens who were venerated by their compatriots without official sanction from the papacy. In doing so, the book uncovers a sub-culture of religious expression that has been overlooked in previous scholarship.The study highlights a myriad of hagiographical materials, both visual and textual, created to honour these new saints by members of four different Venetian communities: The Republican government; the monastic orders, mostly Benedictine; the mendicant orders; and local parishes. By scrutinising the hagiographic portraits described in painted vita panels, written vitae, passiones, votive images, sermons and sepulchre monuments, as well as archival and historical resources, the book identifies a specifically Venetian typology of sanctity tied to the idiosyncrasies of the city’s site and history.By focusing explicitly on local typological traits, the book produces an intimate and complex portrait of Venetian society and offers a framework for exploring the lived religious experience of late-mediaeval societies beyond the lagoon. As a result, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Venice, lived religion, hagiography, mediaeval history and visual culture.

Art and Lived Religion explores the dynamic relationship between medieval and early modern religion and art, integrating the lived religion approach with Gillian Rose’s critical visual methodology (CVM) to reveal how religious artworks actively shaped cognition, emotion, and action.Offering a groundbreaking framework for understanding the multisensory and relational nature of religious experience, this book presents case studies spanning Western Christian, Orthodox Christian, Hindu, and Aztec contexts. All chapters highlight the “dynamism of forces” between art, religion and human encounter across diverse temporal, geographic, and cultural settings, emphasizing the interplay of visual, material, social and embodied dimensions in the creation of experience.Methodologically and conceptually ideal for students and scholars in art history, religious studies, and interdisciplinary research, this book is tailored to those seeking to explore the experiential dynamics of art and devotion across diverse cultural, temporal, and geographic settings.
