  • Architectural Patronage of Queen Mariam Dadiani, One of the Most Prominent Female Patrons in the Medieval History of Georgia
    NATIA NATSVLISHVILI The George Chubinashvili National Research Centre for Georgian Art History and Heritage Preservation The Female Architectural Patronage in Late Medieval Georgia: Queen Mariam Dadiani This paper studies the life and architectural patronage of Queen Mariam Dadiani, one of the most prominent female patrons in the Medieval history of Georgia. Like many women in the Medieval world, Mariam was a subject of political marriage, no less than three times. In 1634, after her marriage to King Rostom of Kartli (R 1633-1658), a Safavid-appointed ruler, she became the queen consort. Mariam not only retained Christianity after her marriage to the Muslim king, but also managed to have the same rights as he. Written sources and donor inscriptions credit her with constructing and repairing several churches in the kingdom. After Rostom’s death, Mariam Dadiani, through her marriage to Vakhtang V Shahnavaz (R 1658-1675), another Muslim king of Kartli, maintained her status as Queen and continued her agency. She acted as a patron during her Muslim husbands’ lifetimes, which can be explained by her powerful personality in particular, and by the cultural tradition and political situation of Medieval Georgia in general. Although Mariam has received the special attention of scholars as a commissioner of the arts, there is still need for extensive research on the subject. Focusing on her extensive building activity, this paper provides new insights into the patronage of royal female founders in late Medieval Georgia. Review of Female Architectural Patronage in Medieval and Late Medieval Georgia1 Female commissioners of architecture were known in Georgia from the early Middle Ages.
