Abstract

This is the first book to explore the emergence and function of a novel pictorial format in the Middle Ages, the vita icon, which displayed the magnified portrait of a saint framed by scenes from his or her life. The vita icon was used for depicting the most popular figures in the Orthodox calendar and, in the Latin West, was deployed most vigorously in the service of Francis of Assisi. This book offers a compelling account of how this type of image embodied and challenged the prevailing structures of vision, representation and sanctity in Byzantium and among the Franciscans in Italy between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. Paroma Chatterjee uncovers the complexities of the philosophical and theological issues that had long engaged both the medieval East and West, such as the fraught relations between words and images, relics and icons, a representation and its subject, and the very nature of holy presence.

Abstract

Peut-on, en bonne théologie, représenter le Christ, à la fois homme et Dieu ? Où doit s'arrêter le culte rendu aux " saintes images " ? Comment l'homme, " créé à l'image de Dieu ", s'intègre-t-il dans cette vision hiérarchisée du visible et de l'invisible ? À ces questions fondamentales, qui furent au cœur de la crise iconoclaste des VIIIe-IXe siècles et de l'art byzantin, les réponses ne sont pas, ou pas seulement, religieuses. Elles sont à chercher dans la philosophie de la représentation de l'Antiquité finissante, dans les rapports entre un certain type de portraits peints et les mots codés de la description physique, dans une "réception" qui fait d'une image schématique le support de visions et de rêves, dans le passage de l'historique à l'imaginaire. Reprenant et complétant la matière de plusieurs études qui se sont échelonnées sur plus de vingt-cinq ans, Gilbert Dagron cherche aussi à montrer la part d'iconoclasme qui subsiste dans le portrait iconique après que les théologiens eurent célébré le " triomphe des images ", et les raisons qui poussèrent quelques grands initiateurs de la peinture moderne (Kandinsky, Matisse) à se réclamer de l'icône byzantine. Il prend appui sur une iconographie choisie - mosaïques et peintures, monnaies, manuscrits illustrés -, autant de témoins d'une riche culture qui fut et reste l'un des modèles de l'esthétique européenne.

Abstract

Drawing on original research covering different periods and spaces, this book sets out to appreciate the specific place of images in the history of evangelisation in the long modern period. How can we reconceptualise the functions of the visual mediation of the gospel message, both in terms of the production and reception of this message and in terms of its effective mediators, artists, religious, and cultural ambassadors? The contributions in this book offer multiple geographical and historical insights regarding the circulation of the image on the global scale of the Christianised world or the world in the process of being Christianised, from China to Iberia. Combining the contribution of historians and art historians, the authors highlight the points of intercultural encounter and tension around preaching, catechesis, devotional practices and the propagandistic use of images.00Through its aesthetic and social study of the image, and by examining the inner and outer borders of Europe and the mission lands, 'Eloquent Images' contributes significantly to the history of evangelisation, one of the major dynamics of the first European globalisation.
