It is said the "Anonymous" was a woman. Roberts (art history, Lake Forest College) proves that for some Renaissance art, this is certainly true. She has traced the production of a number of known works to a Dominican convent in Pisa, Italy. The convent was also known for its patronage of artists, and Roberts demonstrates how and why this came to be. By concentrating on one house, rather than generalizing about a sampling, the reader sees the life of a specific group of women in 15th-century Italy and the art that surrounded them. Appendices give an inventory of the art, a list of the names of the nuns in residence and letters written by and about the nuns. The book is copiously illustrated with b&w photographs of the art objects. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
