Abstract

Eighteenth-century Europe witnessed monumental upheavals in both the Catholic and Protestant faiths and the repercussions rippled down to the churches' religious art forms. Nigel Aston now chronicles here the intertwining of cultural and institutional turmoil during this pivotal century. The sustained popularity of religious art in the face of competition from increasingly prevalent secular artworks lies at the heart of this study. Religious art staked out new spaces of display in state institutions, palaces, and private collections, the book shows, as

Abstract

" Inauguration ", " consécration ", " orientation ", " autel ", " basilique ", " sanctuaire "... Tous ces mots semblent parler d'eux-mêmes pour définir une église. Ce que l'on sait le moins pourtant, c'est que ce vocabulaire n'a été intégré qu'au moment de la reconnaissance officielle de l'Eglise quand Constantin choisit un bâtiment de culte archétype : la basilique. Longtemps l'étude du lieu de culte chrétien a consisté à opposer " église " et " temple " polythéiste, sans s'interroger sur le sens des mots. Or, ce n'est pas le temple qui est l'équivalent de l'église mais le " sanctuaire ", ainsi que le montre l'analyse structurale des mythes étiologiques de fondation. Cet essai, en soulignant les spécificités de la religion chrétienne, montre à l'évidence l'importance de l'héritage transmis dans la fondation des lieux de culte et dans l'architecture, des civilisations du bassin méditerranéen, de l'Antiquité à la fin du Moyen Age.

Abstract

This publication is engaged in issues, trends, and themes depicted on mosaic pavements discovered in Israel, the Gaza Strip and Petra (the provinces of ancient Palaestina Prima, Secunda and Tertia) with comparable floors in Jordan (Arabia). The majority of the mosaic pavements discussed in this study are dated to the 4th-8th centuries CE. Mosaic pavements were the normal medium for decorating the floors of synagogues, churches, monasteries, and chapels, as well as public and private buildings. Inscriptions found on many of the pavements commemorate the donors, refer to the artists, and sometimes date the mosaics. The ornamentation of the mosaics in this region is remarkable, rich, and varied in its themes and provides many insights into the contemporary artistic and social cultures.

Abstract

The decades following the year 1000 marked a watershed in the history of the Iberian Peninsula when the balance of power shifted from Muslims to Christians. During this crucial period of religious and political change, Romanesque churches were constructed for the first time in Spain. Romanesque Architecture and Its Sculptural Decoration in Christian Spain, 1000-1120 examines how the financial patronage of newly empowered local rulers allowed Romanesque architecture and sculptural decoration to significantly redefine the cultural identities of those who lived in the frontier kingdoms of Christian Spain. Proceeding chronologically, Janice Mann studies the earliest Romanesque monuments constructed by Sancho el Mayor (r.1004-1035) and his wife, daughters, and granddaughters, as well as those that were built by Sancho Ramírez, king of Aragon (1064-1094). Mann examines groups of buildings constructed by particular patrons against the backdrop of changing social conditions and attitudes that resulted from increased influence from beyond the Pyrenees, the consolidation of royal power, and intensified aggression against Muslims. An in-depth study of the rise of an architectural style, this is the first book to examine early Romanesque architecture and sculpture of the Iberian Peninsula as it relates to frontier culture.
