Download or read book Cloister Design and Monastic Reform in Toulouse written by Kathryn Horste and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst most scholarship in the field concentrates on the very early development of the Romanesque style in Toulouse, Dr. Horste's approach brings a fresh perspective to bear on the subject through her new definitions of second and third generation Romanesque sculpture, dating to c.1120-70. Focusing on the sculpture of three decorated cloisters she discusses current arguments concerning the revival of monumental sculpture in the Romanesque period; she also explores the role of Toulouse as an artistically active medieval city, its part in the monastic reform movement, and its political ties with the French monarchy in the later twelfth century. Dr. Horste's own photographs form a major contribution to her book: she has travelled throughout south-western France photographing Romanesque sculpture in many locations. She also provides a new series of photographs of the Romanesque sculptures in the Musee des Augustins in Toulouse, taken during a major reinstallation of the collections between 1976 and 1981.

Download or read book Pictorial Narrative in the Romanesque Cloister written by Pamela Anne Patton and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised as paradisiacal or denounced as impious fantasy, the sculpture of Romanesque cloisters played a powerful role in medieval monastic life. This book demonstrates how sculpture in the cloister, the physical and spiritual heart of the religious foundation, could be shrewdly configured to articulate the most influential ideals and experiences of its individual community. Taking as its focus the visually rich, highly organized narrative programs of three twelfth-century Spanish cloisters, this book reveals the power of such imagery to reflect and reinforce the social and spiritual preoccupations of its age.
Download or read book Religious Experience and Monastic Identity in Romanesque Sculpture at Santa Maria de Ripoll Catalonia 1030 1180 written by Matthew James Westerby and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation offers the first comprehensive study of the twelfth-century architectural sculpture and tomb monuments at the once powerful Catalan abbey of Santa Maria de Ripoll (Girona, Spain). I study the Romanesque sculpture of Ripoll as interfaces between liturgy and history, outlining the affective religious experiences and stimuli to multi-sensory religious experience that this sculpture engendered. Located about sixty miles north of Barcelona in a mountain valley at the confluence of two rivers, Santa Maria de Ripoll was known across the Iberian Peninsula and Western Europe as a crossroads of art, learning and music in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. A sculpted stone portal was added to existing eleventh-century walls and the cloister was decorated with marble capitals and variegated stone columns around 1140 to 1160. The scale and comprehensiveness of the twelfth-century portal and the richness of the marble cloister capitals show that the abbots and priors who initiated these works valued sculpture and the plastic arts for the purpose of memorializing the monastery's past and promoting the identity of the monks. Architectural sculpture at Ripoll also mediated and shaped monastic rituals, time cycles, and institutional politics, holding a particular power on the religious imagination. By exploring resonances between sculpted decorations, illuminated manuscripts, sacred space, and affectivity, I aim to provoke a much boarder discussion of sculpture at Ripoll than what has been offered. I develop a case study with close-knit comparisons that contributes to larger discussions in the field of Medieval Studies around materiality and the senses. This study is divided into two parts. Part I is comprised of two chapters on the sculpted west portal: Chapter 1 examines voice and personification in the Ripoll portal, and Chapter 2 examines the portal archivolts within the framework of spiritual and corporeal vision. Part II is comprised of two chapters on the Ripoll claustro-panteón as the burial site of the Catalan Counts: Chapter 3 examines the tomb of Ramon Berenguer III as a representation of funerary liturgy, and chapter 4 explores the sculpted cloister capitals and the themes of the cleansing, protection, and resurrection of the body.
