Abstract

For nearly five centuries, lay religious groups throughout the Spanish-speaking world have staged elaborate public processions commemorating the events of Christ's passion during Holy Week. In the Golden Age, such processions featured extraordinarily lifelike sculpted images that were naturalistically painted, elaborately clothed and adorned, and surrounded by convincing stage properties and scenography--all of which combined to create a profound impression on spectators. Long dismissed as a minor form of popular art, these polychrome wood sculptures emerge from this book as a unique genre, one that can be best understood within its ritual context. Here, Susan Verdi Webster explores the Holy Week processions of penitential confraternities in Golden-Age Seville, for which many of Spain's greatest sculptors created some of the most illusionistic works ever. She demonstrates how the pivotal role of the sculptures in procession transformed them from carved wooden objects to catalysts for intense spiritual and emotional experiences shared by spectators in the streets.Drawing on extensive archival evidence and contemporary chronicles, Webster is among the first to examine in depth Spanish processional sculpture, its patrons, and its ritual function. Her inquiry wends through a kaleidoscopic variety of arenas--artistic, religious, social, cultural, and political--to provide a fascinating perspective on popular religious devotion in Golden-Age Spain and on a previously undervalued dimension of Spanish sculpture.

Abstract

The Arma Christi, the cluster of objects associated with Christ’s Passion, was one of the most familiar iconographic devices of European medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprang a reliquary tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems, striking visual images, and innovative architectural ornament. This collection displays the fascinating range of intellectual possibilities generated by representations of these medieval ‘objects,’ and through the interdisciplinary collaboration of its contributors produces a fresh view of the multiple intersections of the spiritual and the material in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It also includes a new and authoritative critical edition of the Middle English Arma Christi poem known as ‘O Vernicle’ that takes account of all twenty surviving manuscripts. The book opens with a substantial introduction that surveys previous scholarship and situates the Arma in their historical and aesthetic contexts. The ten essays that follow explore representative examples of the instruments of the Passion across a broad swath of history, from some of their earliest formulations in late antiquity to their reformulations in early modern Europe. Together, they offer the first large-scale attempt to understand the arma Christi as a unique cultural phenomenon of its own, one that resonated across centuries in multiple languages, genres, and media. The collection directs particular attention to this array of implements as an example of the potency afforded material objects in medieval and early modern culture, from the glittering nails of the Old English poem Elene to the coins of the Middle English poem ‘Sir Penny,’ from garments and dice on Irish tomb sculptures to lanterns and ladders in Hieronymus Bosch’s panel painting of St. Christopher, and from the altar of the Sistine Chapel to the printed prayer books of the Reformation.

Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Ce livre combat l'idée soutenue par les plus grands spécialistes, en particulier Emile Mâle - l'éminent iconographe de l'art religieux - , et jamais contestée, suivant laquelle, pendant l'Ancien Régime (du XIVe au XVIIIe siècle français) les réguliers (c'est-à-dire les religieux vivant en communauté suivant une règle) étaient trop austères pour posséder des oeuvres d'art. Seule une étonnante prévention a pu faire oublier que les établissements ont été vidés par la Révolution et que les monastères et les couvents avaient été remplis de chefs d'oeuvres des plus grands maîtres. Pour redécouvrir cette évidence, il faut restituer aux oeuvres conservées les provenances oubliées. Par quelques exemples, le livre montre ce que l'histoire de l'art comme l'histoire de la spiritualité gagneront de la restitution et provenance. Le livre propose aussi une nouvelle synthèse de l'architecture des religions jusqu'alors trop fondée sur l'héritage médiévale, pas assez soumise aux effets de la modernité ; professionnalisation de l'activité de l'architecte, diffusion d'une règle par les traités imprimés, laïcisation de la commande, le livre consacre beaucoup d'importance à ce qu'on peut appeler l'entrisme de la société civile sur la société cloitrée et la particularité des donateurs qui ont accompagné l'ouverture des chantiers de construction du cloitre et de la fourniture en image."
