Abstract

Medieval sculptures are notoriously hard to study. So often divorced from their original context and function by centuries of destruction, alteration or just neglect, the subtleties of their aesthetic impact, their meaning and their symbolic complexity are at times almost completely hidden from us, to be only loosely gleaned or reconstructed. Fortunately, this is not the case with the two beautiful pleurants — or mourners — in the collection of The Phoebus Foundation. This edition of Phoebus Focus takes you on a journey of questions and discoveries: who were these men, for whom were they made, and why? Matthew Reeves tells the story of one of France’s richest princes, Jean de Berry (1340-1416), his profound love of art and the wondrous ways in which sculpture can be used to commemorate, move us to prayer, and serve political ends.

Abstract

In deze Phoebus Focus bestudeert Matthew Reeves de albasten pleurants op het grafmonument van de befaamde hertog Jan van Berry (1340-1416). Wie waren deze mannen, voor wie werden deze beelden gemaakt en waarom? Matthew Reeves vertelt het verhaal van een van Frankrijks rijkste prinsen, Jan van Berry, zijn intense liefde voor de kunst en de manieren waarop beeldhouwkunst gebruikt werd om te herdenken, tot gebed aan te sporen en politieke doeleinden te dienen. In de reeks Phoebus Focus bekijken experts en wetenschappers topstukken uit de rijke collectie van The Phoebus Foundation.
