In 1428, A Devastating Fire Destroyed A Schoolhouse In The Northern Italian City Of Forlì, Leaving Only A Woodcut Of The Madonna And Child That Had Been Tacked To The Classroom Wall. The People Of Forlì Carried That Print - Now Known As The Madonna Of The Fire - Into Their Cathedral, Where Two Centuries Later A New Chapel Was Built To Enshrine It. In This Book, Lisa Pon Considers A Cascade Of Moments In The Madonna Of The Fire's Cultural Biography: When Ink Was Impressed Onto Paper At A Now-unknown Date; When That Sheet Was Recognized By Forlì's People As Miraculous; When It Was Enshrined In Various Tabernacles And Chapels In The Cathedral; When It Or One Of Its Copies Was - And Still Is - Carried In Procession. In Doing So, Pon Offers An Experiment In Art Historical Inquiry That Spans More Than Three Centuries Of Making, Remaking, And Renewal. Thing.
