Sumario:This article is part of the scholarly revival in Angela of Foligno (c. 1248-c. 1308) studies in relation to images. With the exhibition entitled Dal visibile all'indicibile. Crocifissi ed esperienza mistica in Angela da Foligno (Foligno, October 6th, 2012 - January 6th, 2013) and the publication of the catalogue, relations between Angela's visions and her artistic context have been examined in greater depth. However, despite the excellent essays included in the book, there is still lacking a theoretical basis to explain Angela's devotional relationship with some images and, in particular, her reception of them. The main aim of these pages is therefore to develop that theoretical background and to interpret from such a basis the events that occurred in Assisi in front of the so-called "vetrata degli angeli" (the stained glass window of the angels).
