"Studies in Iconography" is an annual journal hosted by the Index of Medieval Art and published in partnership with Medieval Institute Publications. It presents innovative work on the meaning of images from the medieval world broadly construed, between the fourth century to the year 1600. Past articles have addressed subjects as diverse as Byzantine fresco programs, Carolingian architectural diagrams, Gothic rent books, Jewish ritual images, and Islamicate stucco ornament. We encourage article submissions that offer interdisciplinary, theoretical, or critical perspectives. Works of both established and emerging scholars are welcome. Reviews of selected books on iconography and art history are included in every volume.

MIP also publishes the journal's associated book series, Studies in Iconography: Themes and Variations.

She is the editor of Towards an Art History of the Parish Church, 1200–1399 (Courtauld Books Online, 2021).

Alana O’Brien is an adjunct research fellow of La Trobe University, Australia and a former fellow of the Medici Archive Project, Florence, Italy. Her research focuses primarily on the reception of and response to artworks in religious settings by historical and near-historical viewers. She endeavors to re-create artworks’ devotional, physical, social, and liturgical environments to discern how contemporary and near-contemporary observers might have understood and engaged with them. The primary foci of her studies are the Order of the Servants of Mary, their church of the Santissima Annunziata in Florence, and the devotional cult of Saint Filippo Benizi. In a related aspect of her work, she explores the connections of artists and artisans with Florentine confraternities and the mechanisms used by artists to gain access to restricted spaces containing significant artworks.
