Book Shaping Sacred Space and Institutional Identity in Romanesque Mural Painting

Download or read book Shaping Sacred Space and Institutional Identity in Romanesque Mural Painting written by Otto Demus and published by Spotlight Poets. This book was released on 2004 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romanesque mural painting was arguably the most visible field for religious images in Western churches between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. Beyond its traditional justification as Bible of the illiterate mural painting demarcated the principal functional spaces within the church and propagated the sacred narratives, the systems of belief and institutional politics. The present volume provides the first accessible collection of essays devoted exclusively to the contextual interpretation of Romanesque mural painting. They are offered in homage to Otto Demus, who established the essential parameters for the field with his unsurpassed survey of the field over thirty years ago. Presenting previously unpublished research on individual case studies from Italy, France and Spain, the collection of essays published here pursues Demus's premise that mural painting was designed both to shape the experience and ritual use of distinctive spaces within the medieval church, and to advertise certain institutional affiliations and political agendas. The introduction, by Thomas Dale, provides a methodological overview to the field, assessing Demus's contribution to the study of Romanesque mural painting and surveying the scholarship of the past thirty years. It also furnishes the first overview of primary texts that refer to the functions and exegesis of mural painting between the tenth and thirteenth centuries. The ten essays are grouped under four topics 1. Patterns of Narrative Disposition in Sacred Space 2. Reinforcing the Praesentia of the Saints: The Church as Locus Sanctus 3. The Burial Crypt as Mediator between the Living and the Dead, Terrestrial and Celestial Space 4. Ecclesiastical Politics and Institutional Identity.

Book Metamorphoses of an Allegory

Download or read book Metamorphoses of an Allegory written by Joanne S. Norman and published by New York : P. Lang. This book was released on 1988 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a comprehensive survey of the iconography of the psychomachia motif including an analysis of the relationship between text and image based on the visual transformation of a verbal metaphor. Moral allegories, such as the battle of the virtues and vices representing the conflict between good and evil within the human soul, were important motifs, not only in literary and theological texts from the sixth to the sixteenth century in western Europe, but also in iconography. The transformations or metamorphoses of a central verbal metaphor as a motif in the visual arts provide a way to understand the mutual influence of word and image in developing a particular concept throughout the Middle Ages. The book includes a descriptive survey of the visual interpretations of the psychomachia allegory in all major works of art, manuscript illustrations, sculpture, paintings, and stained glass, as well as minor art forms, such as ivory and wood carvings and tapestries. Individual works are analyzed in terms of their conception of the allegory and various literary and theological sources or parallels are indicated.
