Download or read book Medieval Art and Architecture at Exeter Cathedral written by Francis Kelly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1991 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eleventh volume in the Transactions series deals almost exclusively with Exeter Cathedral and reflects the balance of the conference held in 1985. The structural archaeology of the fabric and its enrichment and fittings are examined in parallel with the rich documentary evidence, and put in their art-historical contexts. This makes a valuable contribution to scholarship and to the understanding and hence appreciation of the Cathedral. Indeed, it should prove to be the most significant landmark in the study of the Cathedral since the 19th century and to be a definitive reference work for years to come. Colour plates are included for the first time in this series, relating largely to the analysis and interpretation of the West Front and a reconstruction of its colour scheme.

Download or read book Liminal Images written by Alex Woodcock and published by BAR British Series. This book was released on 2005 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of unusual, grotesque and rude carvings on ecclesiastical buildings have been explained in a number of ways, from reflecting the warped sense of humour of the masons, to a purely ornamental or marginal function. However, in this study of medieval sculpture from southern England, Alex Woodcock suggests that imagery should be seen in the same way as the buildings themselves, as liminal spaces mediating between the human, mortal world and the sacred and unknown. In examining various distorted and foliate heads, grotesques, mythical creatures, beasts and so on, Woodcock argues that these are wholly appropriate images for medieval religious life, reflecting the ambiguous and the unclassifiable in an unknown realm, whilst also having an apotropaic function. Placing emphasis on liminality, the study focuses in particular on heads - severed, foliate and otherwise - and whole figures, humans, animals and hybrids, including detailed studies of the siren and mermaid.

Download or read book Broken Idols of the English Reformation written by Margaret Aston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 1994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.
