"Renaissance invention and the haunted infancy" examines how and why a vast range of fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century European images of Christ's infancy allude either to his death or to the devil, and sometimes to both. Written as an essay on interpretation, the book addresses the bottomless ingenuity with which artists worked to embody two central yet ultimately elusive ideas: the sacrifice for which the Incarnation was necessary and evil poised to thwart the scheme of salvation. Because both are nominally nonexistent or suppressed in the moment pictured - a death not yet present for the Infant and a menace resisted by his coming - they convey absence or imminence in ways rarely attempted in earlier art. Although both kinds of allusion became pervasive in painting, prints, and sculpture and are widely familiar to modern observers, neither has ever been systematically addressed in art historical scholarship. ... the heart of the study is given to close scrutiny of an unusual variety of images (by such central figures as Bosch, Botticelli, Bruegel, Campin, Donatello, Gossaert, Michelangelo, and van der Weyden, among many others)"--Dust jacket flap.

How do you paint a figure who is fully human and fully divine?  How do you paint Christ? Strangeness and Recognition takes a fresh look at well-known Renaissance paintings of Christ and shows how surprising and deeply 'strange' they can be.  This book brings an imaginative and affective theological perspective to the viewing experience as it explores the twin roles played by ‘strangeness’ and ‘recognition’ in responding to the challenge of creating and relating to images of Christ.  By confounding expectations and defamiliarising subject matter, the ambiguity and mystery of these paintings disturbs viewers’ expectations and reconnects them with the extraordinary mystery of the Incarnation. While neither words nor images can fully describe God, through a questioning, challenging dialogue with paintings, whose visual language disrupts itself, viewers can be brought to the limits of their own understanding and can enter into transformative and personlike relationships with paintings.  These personal exchanges lead through estrangement to the rediscovery of the familiar within the strange and the renewed within the familiar, and to the ultimately unspeakable, unpaintable, mystery of the Incarnation. Drawing on a diverse range of theologians, philosophers, art historians and art theorists, and building on her own earlier work, Chloë Reddaway shows the theological potential of Christian images, even when they are far removed from their original contexts. A major contribution to the emerging field of visual theology, this book will appeal to scholars of theology and art history alike, as well as to the museum-going public.

"Le présent volume termine la grande synthèse de Jean Wirth sur l'image médiévale, commencée en 1999 avec L'Image à l'époque romane, suivie en 2008 par L'Image à l'époque gothique. Il couvre l'évolution de l'image depuis la fin du mie siècle jusqu'à l'iconoclasme de la Réforme. Le point de départ en est donné par la révolution giottesque de la construction picturale : un intérêt croissant pour la représentation des apparences sensibles débouche en effet, chez Giotto et ses contemporains, sur l'invention d'une perspective non mesurée qui se diffuse dans toute l'Europe occidentale et bouleverse les structures narratives, tandis que se met en place le portrait au sens moderne du mot, c'est-à-dire la représentation des traits physiques particuliers d'un personnage. Bien que les gains d'expressivité de l'image se traduisent par un réalisme , au sens vulgaire du mot, ils visent à rendre le surnaturel palpable et sont mis au service d'une dévotion bigarrée, mêlant les apparitions au quotidien, l'exhibition des richesses aux prouesses d'ascétisme, le puritanisme à l'érotisation des saints. Le système iconographique pousse à l'extrême les polarités préexistantes. La Vierge, reine des cieux et symbole de l'Église, est devenue une quasi-déesse, éternellement jeune, et le Christ, sanglant et asexué, un étrange objet de désir et de compassion. Les images se diversifient en faisant une place croissante aux saints, protecteurs des communautés et des individus, tandis que l'iconographie des pouvoirs séculiers commence à prendre ses distances avec le symbolisme religieux. Mais l'illusionnisme croissant des images est devenu source de méfiance, l'extravagance et la vénalité de leur culte inquiétant toujours davantage. Face aux critiques, les peintres flamands et florentins du XVe siècle promeuvent un art sévère et digne, en harmonie avec une dévotion disciplinée. En Allemagne, où ces efforts n'ont pas abouti, les oeuvres d'art qui remplissent les églises sont perçues comme les idoles et le faire-valoir d'un clergé détesté, de sorte que leur destruction accompagne son abolition par la Réforme. Ce n'est pas la fin du règne des images, bien au contraire, mais, à partir de ce moment, l'image cesse d'être en soi un phénomène artistique et son étude relève de moins en moins de l'histoire de l'art." P. [4] of cover.
