Female Crucifix, The
Images of St. Wilgefortis Since the Middle Ages
by Ilse E. Friesen
"In this book, Professor Ilse E. Friesen examines the phenomenon of St. Wilgefortis from an art historical perspective, tracing the origins of depictions of the saint from an early medieval Italian statue known as Volto Santo, or Holy Countenance, through the emergence of increasingly feminized crucifixes over the course of the subsequent centuries.
In particular, Professor Friesen focuses on an analysis of paintings, sculptures and frescoes originating in the German-speaking regions of Bavaria and Tyrol, where the veneration of the saint attained its peak."--BOOK JACKET.
