Welcome to the Index of Medieval Art online database. Our holdings complement the print Index at Princeton University, which is currently being integrated into the database. The collections include images and descriptive data related to the iconography of works of art produced between early apostolic times and the sixteenth century. Although the Index of Medieval Art was formerly known as the Index of Christian Art, the collection now includes secular subjects as well as a growing number of subjects from medieval Jewish and Islamic culture. Full access to this database is available to users by subscription and to those on the Princeton campus; subscriber information is available here.
You can search the Index in multiple ways, beginning at this landing page.

Your use of this database constitutes your agreement to the following terms: The user is solely responsible for determining whether any permissions related to copyright, privacy, publicity, or any other rights are necessary for your intended use of the images in the database, and for obtaining all required permissions. For example, copyright for all of the images attached to this database (which are provided by the Index as-is) lies or may lie with the named individual or institution, and permission to reproduce part or all of these images must be requested from the relevant source. Printouts and downloads from the database are for study purposes only. In particular, use of the images without permission of the copyright holder(s) and in excess of “fair use” may subject the user to copyright infringement liability.
