It is both difficult and transformative to realize that masterpieces become 1 masterpieces due to complex negotiations between artists, patrons, donors, academics, critics, curators, and dealers. The results shape the parameters of our disciplinary inquiry. Even if not explicitly articulated as such to students, the 2 power and politics entrenched in the processes of canonization underlie art history's long-standing efforts to diversify its canons. The challenge remains that a more global and inclusive curriculum does not in and of itself enable students to recognize and assess canon formation as a process or to trace and analyze its legacies in disciplinary discourse. Despite a half-century of feminist scholarship, we continue to render those female artists that we have elevated to the canon with

Envisioning the Bishop: Images and the Episcopacy in the Middle Ages, Mar 1, 2014

The essays in this volume represent a variety of disciplinary perspectives, each tuned to the production of images made by, for, and about the medieval episcopacy. They present the bishop as a model of piety and intellectual life as well as political and religious action.

Bernward presented the codex to the monastery 1 in conjunction with dedicating its church"s crypt altar to Christ, the Virgin, Michael, and the "whole celestial army" on September 29, 1015. A painted bifolium at the front of the manuscript portrays that moment, fols. 16v-17r ( ), 2 and inscriptions in the picture"s frames place special emphasis on Mary and Christ. 3 1 A dedicatory inscription on fol. 231v reads: "I, Bernward, had this codex written and, ordering that my wealth be added above, as you see I present (it) to St. Michael beloved of the Lord. Let there be a curse of God on anyone who takes it from him." (Hunc ego Bernwardus codicem conscribere feci /Atq(ue) meas ut cernis opes super addere iubens / Dilecto domini dederam sancto Michaheli / Sit anathema dei quisquis sibi dempserit illum).Unless otherwise noted, all English translations are my own. 2 The patron saints represented in the painting match the dedication of the crypt as reconstructed by W. Berges and H. J. Rieckenberg from remnants still in situ, in Die älteren Hildesheimer Inschriften bis zum Tode Bischof Hezilos ( †1079) (Göttingen, 1983), 54-62, 172ff. anno dominice incarnationIS Mxv ordinationis beRNWARDI VENErabilis presulis hild(eshemensis) anno xxIII INDICT(IONE) XIII iii k(alendas) oct(obris) in honore d(omi)ni beate genitRICIS ET archangeli michaelis et totius militie cELEstis hec cripta a bernwardo ep(iscop)o dedicata est.
