Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2023.

This dissertation investigates how early modern sculptors employed different typologies of white marble sculpture to present an archetypal, yet largely inimitable model of the post-Tridentine, ideal Christian woman. Employing a mix of extensive fieldwork and historical investigations, I present four case studies that are broadly representative of the era's major typologies which have so far gone unremarked upon in the literature: reclining women in ecstasy or death, freestanding statues on altars, and multimedia reliefs. These sculptures include Stefano Maderno's St. Cecilia (1600), Gian Lorenzo Bernini's St. Teresa in Ecstasy (1647-1652), Ercole Ferrata's St. Agnes on the Pyre (1660-1664) and Melchiorre Cafa's St. Catherine of Siena (1662-1667). My research contextualizes the complex and fluctuating status of holy women in seventeenthcentury Rome by investigating these sculptures through a material and gendered lens. This dissertation reveals how marble statues of female saints mobilized specific moments from each woman's biographical narrative to embolden post-Tridentine attitudes towards feminine sanctity, contributing to new and innovative scholarly debates on gender, religion, and sculptural materiality in early modern studies. Ultimately, I argue that marble sculptures of female saints oscillated between embodied purity and material sensuality, creating a paradox of story, purpose, and form for the early modern viewer to unravel.
