Abstract

This study investigates the pictorial world of the medieval Vadstena Abbey church. The interior of the church was filled with altars and images that had the three separated groups of viewers in mind: the 60 nuns, the 25 conventual brothers and the numerous pilgrims coming to visit the shrine of Saint Birgitta. The pilgrims faced a pictorial message where the role of saint Birgitta was emphasized, but still one among all the other saints. The images directed to the nuns and the brothers accentuated the role of the Virgin Mary as the exemplarily follower of Christ. Furthermore, all the church interior was furnished to enhance the position of the nuns, i.e. that this monastic foundation was made primarily for women.

Abstract

This monograph book offers a new interpretation of northern European art of the fifteenth century. The author presents it as a conglomerate of objects-things which act on the recipient in a specific - material and spatial - way. He analyzes macro-scale objects that impose movement on the viewer, and micro-scale objects that encourage manipulation.

Abstract

In Devotional Portraiture and Spiritual Experience Ingrid Falque analyses the meditative functions of early Netherlandish paintings including devotional portraits, that is portraits of people kneeling in prayer. Such paintings have been mainly studied in the context of commemorative and social practices, but as Ingrid Falque shows, they also served as devotional instruments. By drawing parallels between the visual strategies of these paintings and texts of the major spiritual writers of the medieval Low Countries, she demonstrates that paintings with devotional portraits functioned as a visualisation of the spiritual process of the sitters. The book is accompanied by the first exhaustive catalogue of paintings with devotional portraits produced in the Low Countries between c. 1400 and 1550. This catalogue is available at no costs in e-format ( HERE ) and can also be purchased as a printed hardcover book ( HERE ).

Abstract

Obwohl der Bestand an frühbyzantinischen Wand- und Gewölbemosaiken im östlichen Mittelmeerraum sehr gering ist, waren die umfangreichen Reste des erhaltenen musivischen Dekors der Acheiropoietos-Basilika in Thessaloniki bisher noch nicht Gegenstand einer umfassenden Untersuchung. Die vorliegende Studie stellt diese überwiegend in den Arkaden und Fensterlaibungen erhaltenen Mosaiken in den Mittelpunkt. Aufbauend an die ausführliche Analyse dieses qualitätvollen Dekors werden weiterführende Fragen zu den frühbyzantinischen Mosaiken von Thessaloniki (v. a. Hagios Demetrios, Gerogios-Rotunde) bearbeitet und die bisher stark umstrittene relative Chronologie dieser Kunstgattung in dieser Metropole auf eine neue Grundlage gestellt. Ein umfangreicher Katalog vergleichbarer dekorativer Mosaiken des 5. und 6. Jhs. in Bogenlaibungen von Monumenten des gesamten Mittelmerraums, die bisher noch nicht zusammenfassend bearbeitet worden sind, dient als Basis für die Bewertung und Einordnung. Als Corpus dekorativer Mosaiken in Bogenlaibungen des 5. und 6. Jhs. ist die Arbeit von grundlegender Bedeutung.
