During these study days, the intention is to broaden the collaborative work and the network by focusing on the notion of the “devotional image” (Andachstbild) and related practices (devotion, piety, prayer, meditation, etc.). Drawing on a variety of approaches and corpora (both geographical and chronological), the study days aim to collectively examine the generic concept of devotional images from a historiographical, epistemological, and terminological perspective.

Despite the assertions about simplicity by the founding fathers of the Carthusian Order, charterhouses readily displayed images and works of art, especially during the late Middle Ages and Early Modernity. This international conference explores innovative lines of research on image-based meditative and devotional practices as well as experiences of art and images in the charterhouse, discourses on images by Carthusian authors, material and visual cultures of Carthusian monasteries, and comparative approaches to Carthusian art, opening up new avenues for understanding the role of works of art and images in Carthusian monasteries (c. 1350- 1700).
