Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roodscreens and Roodlofts, Vol. 1 of 2 These two volumes embody the result of some seven years' research and collection. For the first Part of the work, which is a historical essay on screenwork, from the earliest times down to the post-reformation period, Mr. Frederick Bligh Bond is responsible, and would wish it to be understood that his views of the origin of screenwork are not in all cases those held by his colleague, Dom Bede Camm. The essay in question is the fruit of several years' work, and incorporates in a complete and coherent form the substance of papers contributed to the Proceedings of the Saint Paul's Ecclesiological Society in 1903, and to the Journal of the in October, 1904, and October, 1905. In these essays the historical, or evolutionary, method of dealing with the subject was adopted, and the story of the use of screenwork in the English church throughout the Reformation and the post-reformation periods was first handled in this manner, Much new matter has been added in the present work, and the whole argument rendered clearer, and consolidated. Mr. Bligh Bond desires to remove a certain confusion which has arisen between the personality of himself and that of his friend and namesake, Mr. Francis Bond, who, by a curious coincidence was led to publish his work on Screens and Galleries whilst the present work was in the press. The two schemes are, of course, totally distinct, but present a curious parallel in their main features, which is heightened by the choice made of illustrations. Yet, except for the fact that Mr. Francis Bond has drawn material from the published essays above-mentioned (for which he has made very kind acknowledgment) the matter is one of pure coincidence. The theories as to the origin of the screens respectively held by the two exponents are, it need hardly be said, quite independent, and differ widely one from the other.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roodscreens and Roodlofts, Vol. 2 of 2 Rector that the saints painted on his screen were many and various, but that was all he knew or cared about them. Still such indifference is nowadays luckily becoming rare. The present writer has met, as a rule, with the greatest kindness and assistance in his work from the parish clergy of Devon, assistance which must be gratefully acknowledged. Still it is felt that an attempt to identify and name the saints thus painted on so many screens will be useful and welcome to not a few. Devonshire is not the only county which boasts of these painted panels. In East Anglia and in Cornwall a notable feature Of the roodscreen was the series of saintly figures painted on the panels. This feature which gave to these English screens a notable similarity to the eastern iconostasis is not, however, by any means universal in Devon. Most of them are found in the district between Exeter and Totnes, though there are outlying examples in other parts Of the county. The number of screens which still remain with at least some portion of their ancient paintings intact is upwards Of forty. The object of this study, then, is to identify as far as possible the saints whose representations have thus come down to us from mediaval times, give some account of these holy personages and their emblems, and illustrate the paintings themselves, both by verbal description and by drawings and photographs. It was the writer's ambition to give one illustration of each saint who is to be found depicted on a Devon roodscreen, and though this ambition has not been fully realised, owing to the great difficulties in the way, he has nevertheless the satisfaction of giving a very large series of illustrations of these figures hitherto unpublished.

Download or read book Transforming the Church Interior in Renaissance Florence written by Joanne Allen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the late sixteenth century, the churches of Florence were internally divided by monumental screens that separated the laity in the nave from the clergy in the choir precinct. Enabling both separation and mediation, these screens were impressive artistic structures that controlled social interactions, facilitated liturgical performances, and variably framed or obscured religious ritual and imagery. In the 1560s and 70s, screens were routinely destroyed in a period of religious reforms, irreversibly transforming the function, meaning, and spatial dynamics of the church interior. In this volume, Joanne Allen explores the widespread presence of screens and their role in Florentine social and religious life prior to the Counter-Reformation. She presents unpublished documentation and new reconstructions of screens and the choir precincts which they delimited. Elucidating issues such as gender, patronage, and class, her study makes these vanished structures comprehensible and deepens our understanding of the impact of religious reform on church architecture.
