Dying in the Law of Moses: Crypto-Jewish Martyrdom in the Iberian World

Abstract

These processes of translation from one media to another are extremely important in the history of cultural production and should inspire further study.All of the contributors here are experts in the complexities of tapestry history, a history which embraces not only these relations between artists, designers, weavers, and workshops, as well as carters and dyers, but insights into multiples and copies of varying design, material and quality, not to mention the whole history of dispersals and displacements and variables of taste which impacted attitudes towards the value and display of such multiples and movables.These publications demonstrate that the field of tapestry research is rich with possibilities for historians of visual and material culture and this first truly comprehensive survey of Baroque tapestry art in English should inspire a whole generation of scholars to look "behind the arras."
