Download or read book Death Art and Memory in Medieval England written by Nigel Saul and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2001-04-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative and compelling book Nigel Saul approaches the world of the medieval gentry through the monuments they left behind them. The Cobham family left the largest and most spectacular collection of brasses in Britain in their church at Cobham, and other magnificent brasses in Lingfield, and elsewhere. Medieval brasses have hitherto been studied chiefly from an antiquarian or technical perspective; Nigel Saul for the first time shows how they served as a link between the living and the dead. Commemoration was inseparable from the wider dynamics of society. Through the brasses and through family history he takes us to the heart of gentry aspirations and fears, successes and disappointments. This extensively illustrated study offers a new paradigm for the study of medieval church monuments and makes a major contribution to our understanding of gentry culture.
Download or read book Medieval Art and Architecture after the Middle Ages written by Alyce A. Jordan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Art and Architecture after the Middle Ages explores the endurance of and nostalgia for medieval monuments through their reception in later periods, specifically illuminating the myriad ways in which tangible and imaginary artifacts of the Middle Ages have served to articulate contemporary aspirations and anxieties. The essays in this interdisciplinary collection examine the afterlife of medieval works through their preservation, restoration, appropriation, and commodification in America, Great Britain, and across Europe from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. From the evocation of metaphors and tropes, to monumental projects of restoration and recreation—medieval visual culture has had a tremendous purchase in the construction of political, religious, and cultural practices of the Modern era. The authors assembled here engage a diverse spectrum of works, from Irish ruins and a former Florentine prison to French churches and American department stores, and an equally diverse array of media ranging from architecture and manuscripts to embroidery, monumental sculpture, and metalwork. With applications not only to the study of art and architecture, but also encompassing such varied fields as commerce, city planning, education, literature, collecting and exhibition design, this copiously illustrated anthology comprises a significant contribution to the study of medieval art and medievalism.
Download or read book Image and Idol written by Richard Deacon and published by Tate Publishing(UK). This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the Duveen Galleries for the opening of the Centenary Development at Tate Britain, the exhibition includes twenty-three works from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, borrowed predominantly from churches across England and Wales. In two essays Deacon and Lindley discuss the sculpture - which once inspired passionate devotion, intense disapproval and even physical violence - from their own distinct perspectives. In 'New Bases For Old Sculpture', Deacon discusses his points of reference for the selection and installation, highlighting the formal aspects of the sculpture. In a three-part essay, Lindley covers the religious Reformation of the sixteenth century, focusing in particular on iconoclasm, and provides a detailed analysis of the individual works selected. The book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs of Deacon's installation, which signals a departure from the conventions of museum display."--Jacket.
