About the Author
Laura Weigert, associate professor in the department of art history at Rutgers University, specializes in Northern European art of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. She has been the recipient of fellowships from the American Philosophical Society, The Institute for Advanced Study, CASVA, and the N.E.H. Her scholarship addresses the interaction between diverse media in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as a means to probe questions of representation, spectatorship, and meaning making during this period. She has published essays on manuscript illumination, prints, panel painting, textiles, theater, the ephemeral arts, and theories of performance. Her books include Weaving Sacred Stories: French Choir Tapestries and the Performance of Clerical Identity (Cornell, 2004) and French Visual Culture and the Making of Medieval Theater (Cambridge, 2015); her articles have appeared in Art History, The Oxford Art Journal, Gesta, Studies in Iconography, The Art Bulletin, Art Journal, EMF: Studies in Early Modern France, and in numerous collections of essays. She is currently investigating the fifteenth-century origins of modern media distinctions and the role that painting played in their definition.
