This project examines the production, acquisition, ownership, deployment and afterlife of wax ex-votos - a genre at once aesthetic, religious, medicinal and economic - in Florence 1300-1500 to explore the meanings, functions and visual evolution of these everyday devotional objects. It offers a broad social perspective, being concerned not only with the highest end of the wax ex-voto market, but with investigating wax ex-votos deployed across different social classes. A key aspect of this research is a digital humanities project mapping the location of wax workers' workshops. More widely, the project aims to contribute to our understanding of the ex-voto as a work of art, a category hitherto neglected, as well as fourteenth and fifteenth century conceptions of the visual representation of the individual and the visualisation of personhood.

这个项目考察了1300-1500年佛罗伦萨的蜡制前托的生产、收购、所有权、部署和来世--一种美学、宗教、医学和经济的流派--以探索这些日常虔诚物品的意义、功能和视觉演变。它提供了一个广泛的社会视角，不仅关注蜡ex-voto市场的最高端，而且还调查了不同社会阶层的蜡ex-voto。这项研究的一个关键方面是一个数字人文项目，绘制蜡工车间的位置。更广泛地说，该项目旨在帮助我们理解作为艺术作品的前voto，这是一个迄今为止被忽视的类别，以及十四和十五世纪关于个人视觉表现和人格可视化的概念。
