About this document
Domestic Art in Antwerp by cageofangel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the role of the Antwerp Beguinage in the Counter-Reformation and the domestic use of artworks by its residents in the seventeenth century.

The study draws on archival documents to explore the intersection of gender, community identity, and religious material
