In the Middle Ages everyone, it seems, entered into some form of marriage. Nuns - and even some monks - married the bridegroom Christ. Bishops married their sees. The popes, as vicars of Christ, married the universal Church. And lay people, high and low, married each other. What united these marriages was their common reference to the union of Christ and Church. Christ's marriage to the Church was the paradigmatic symbol in which all the other forms of union participated, in superior or inferior ways. This book grapples with questions of the impact of marriage symbolism on both ideas and practice in the early Christian and medieval period. In what ways did marriage symbolism - with its embedded concepts of gender, reproduction, household, and hierarchy - shape people's thought about other things, such as celibacy, ecclesial and political relations, and devotional relations? How did symbolic cognition shape marriage itself? And how, if at all, were these two directions of thinking symbolically about marriage related?

Het is verrassend hoe religieuze symboliek in werken van moderne kunstenaars een breed publiek aanspreekt. Ook bij wie niets te maken wil hebben met de kerk. Kunst en religie zijn aan elkaar verwant omdat beide willen meedelen waar het in het leven werkelijk om gaat.00Vincent van Gogh, Graham Sutherland, Marlene Dumas, Marc Mulders en anderen verbeelden God of Christus met een nieuwe beeldtaal: in een vorm en met materiaal dat goed past bij het onderwerp van het kunstwerk.00Dit boek laat zien dat hun kunst een functie kan hebben in het maatschappelijke leven, bijvoorbeeld als dialoog, als een vorm van protest en als spirituele verdieping.

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.

Souvent assimilée à la fête galante de Watteau, aux odalisques de Boucher ou aux tableaux néo-antiques de David, la peinture du XVIIIe siècle marque aussi l'apogée de la grande peinture d'histoire religieuse. Émanation de la politique royale, expression de l'opposition janséniste ou étendard brandi contre les idées philosophiques, le tableau d'autel est souvent conçu pour répondre aux troubles religieux contemporains ; il les incarne dans un style enlevé, renouvelant avec panache la manière du XVIIe siècle. Très richement illustré, ce livre traite autant du décor des bâtiments de Paris, des grandes villes de province que des modestes paroisses rurales. Il aborde aussi la carrière et la technique spécifique des peintres religieux, le rôle et la personnalité de leurs commanditaires. L'ensemble apporte un éclairage nouveau et passionnant sur l'importance accordée à la peinture sacrée par les hommes du siècle des Lumières et sa place dans la société d'Ancien Régime.

Satire, Veneration, and St. Joseph in Art, c. 1300-1550 is the first book to reclaim satire as a central component of Catholic altarpieces, devotional art, and veneration, moving beyond humor's relegation to the medieval margins or to the profane arts alone. The book challenges humor's perception as a mere teaching tool for the laity and the antithesis of 'high' veneration and theology, a divide perpetuated by Counter-Reformation thought and the inheritance of Mikhail Bakhtin (Rabelais and His World, 1965). It reveals how humor, laughter, and material culture played a critical role in establishing St. Joseph as an exemplar in western Europe as early as the thirteenth century. Its goal is to open a new line of interpretation in medieval and early modern cultural studies by revealing the functions of humor in sacred scenes, the role of laughter as veneration, and the importance of play for pre-Reformation religious experiences.
