St Anselm and the Visual Arts at Canterbury Cathedral, 1093–1109

St. Anselm's influence on the visual arts at Canterbury Cathedral, particularly during his tenure from 1093 to 1109, is revealed through a detailed analysis of surviving architectural elements and textual references. The study suggests that the cathedral's choir, constructed under Anselm's patronage, featured an innovative iconographic program that emphasized stained glass, setting a precedent for later European church architecture. By integrating Anselm's writings with surviving structural evidence, the research reconstructs this seminal program, highlighting its significance in the development of medieval ecclesiastical design.
