Excerpt: ...of these two scenes, in both of which Christ, most oddly, sits upon a globe.4 As the Widow's Mite the scene on the Milan book covers5 is similar, save for the globe, to the rendering of the same scene in a mosaic of S. Apollinare Nuovo at Ravenna (Fig. 135). In this sixth century mosaic the widow stands at the left of the composition, her hand extended over a table, which resembles the table on the ivory, and faces Christ, who is accompanied by a single disciple.6 With the exception of the globe, both representations are noticeably alike and accurately illustrate the Gospel account.7 It is also interesting to note that about the middle of the fifth century Perpetuus recorded that among other Biblical scenes the Widow's Mite was figured on the walls of the church of St. Martin at Tours.8 Whatever the correct interpretation of the scene may be, we have 3 Examples of this scene occur at S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Christian Iconography: And a School of Ivory Carvers in Provence The solution of the problem can only come when archaeologists agree on the characteristics, the boundaries, and the limitations of the different artistic centres. At present the monuments, after the Hellenistic period, are variously assigned to Constantinople, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Upper Egypt, and the eclectic school of Ravenna. In many cases they are also attributed in a general way to broader divisions, syro-anatolian, syro-palestinian, syro-egyptian, and palestinian-coptic; and in the West, which the Orient soon invaded, minor places, as Milan and Monza, are cited as productive. From these possibilities each authority, after his own conception of their character and in many cases after his own intuition, has built up by attribution his own set of schools. Unless, therefore, the student treads carefully through this maze, the result can only be greater chaos. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Iconography of the Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus written by Elizabeth Struthers Malbon and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carved for a Roman city prefect who was a newly baptized Christian at his death, the sarcophagus of Junius Bassus is not only a magnificent example of "the fine style" of mid-fourth-century sculpture but also a treasury of early Christian iconography clearly indicating the Christianization of Rome--and the Romanization of Christianity. Whereas most previous scholarship has focused on the style of the sarcophagus, Elizabeth Struthers Malbon explores the perplexing elements of its iconography in their fourth-century context. In so doing she reveals the distinction between "pagan" and Christian images to be less rigid than sometimes thought. Against the background of earlier and contemporary art and religious literature, Malbon explicates the relationship of the facade's two levels of scenes depicting stories from the Old and New Testaments, the connection between the scenes on the facade with those on the lid and ends of the sarcophagus, and the integration of pagan elements within a Christian work. What emerges is a carefully constructed iconographic program shedding light on the development of early Christian art within late antique culture. Originally published in 1990.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assesses how current approaches to iconology and iconography break new ground in understanding the signification and reception of medieval images, both in their own time and in the modern world. Framed by critical essays that apply explicitly historiographical and sociopolitical perspectives to key moments in the evolution of the field, the volume’s case studies focus on how iconographic meaning is shaped by factors such as medieval modes of dialectical thought, the problem of representing time, the movement of the viewer in space, the fragmentation and injury of both image and subject, and the complex strategy of comparing distant cultural paradigms. The contributions are linked by a commitment to understanding how medieval images made meaning; to highlighting the heuristic value of new perspectives and methods in exploring the work of the image in both the Middle Ages and our own time; and to recognizing how subtle entanglements between scholarship and society can provoke mutual and unexpected transformations in both. Collectively, the essays demonstrate the expansiveness, flexibility, and dynamism of iconographic studies as a scholarly field that is still heartily engaged in the challenge of its own remaking. Along with the volume editors, the contributors include Madeline H. Caviness, Beatrice Kitzinger, Aden Kumler, Christopher R. Lakey, Glenn Peers, Jennifer Purtle, and Elizabeth Sears.
