Abstract

Dans cette étude pionnière sur l'art dans les couvents féminins, Jeffrey F. Hamburger étudie la fonction des images et de leur fabrication dans la spiritualité les religieuses à la fin du Moyen Age. Fondée sur un groupe extraordinaire et jusqu'ici inconnu de dessins dévotionnels réalisés par une religieuse bénédictine pour ses compagnes cloîtrées, son étude dégage avec une précision sans précédent les traits caractéristiques de la culture visuelle des communautés féminines. Les dessins découverts par Hamburger et le genre auquel ils appartiennent n'ont jamais retenu sérieusement l'attention des historiens de l'art ils constituent pourtant les icônes de la vocation religieuse féminine dans toute sa complexité. Situant ces dessins et les images qui leur sont liées - enluminures, gravures, tapisseries, objets d'orfèvrerie - dans le contexte de la vie et de la réforme religieuses en Allemagne à la fin du Moyen Age, le livre de Jeffrey F. Hamburger reconstruitt les traditions artistiques, littéraires et instututionnelles qui donnaient sa forme à la vie des femmes cloîtrées.En éclairant les schémas et les protocoles de regard qui gouvernaient la vie dévotionnelle et liturgique des religieuses Jeffrey E Hamburger établit de façon convaincante l'importance considérable qu'avait l'acte de voir dans la pratique dévotionnelle. Il met ainsi en question les affirmations traditionnelles selon lesquelles le texte était plus important que l'image dans la piété monastique. Son analyse de la culture visuelle du couvent apporte une contribution fondamentale à l'histoire de l'art médiéval et, d'une façon plus large, à l'histoire de la vie monastique et de la spiritualité médiévales tardives.

Abstract

Jeffrey F. Hamburger's groundbreaking study of the art of female monasticism explores the place of images and image-making in the spirituality of medieval nuns during the later Middle Ages. Working from a previously unknown group of late-fifteenth-century devotional drawings made by a Benedictine nun for her cloistered companions, Hamburger discusses the distinctive visual culture of female communities. The drawings discovered by Hamburger and the genre to which they belong have never been given serious consideration by art historians, yet they serve as icons of the nuns' religious vocation in all its complexity. Setting the drawings and related imagery-manuscript illumination, prints, textiles, and metalwork-within the context of religious life and reform in late medieval Germany, Hamburger reconstructs the artistic, literary, and institutional traditions that shaped the lives of cloistered women.Hamburger convincingly demonstrates the overwhelming importance of "seeing" in devotional practice, challenging traditional assumptions about the primacy of text over image in monastic piety. His presentation of the "visual culture of the convent" makes a fundamental contribution to the history of medieval art and, more generally, of late medieval monasticism and spirituality.

Abstract

Visual and the Visionary adds a new dimension to the study of female spirituality, with its nuanced account of the changing roles of images in medieval monasticism from the twelfth century to the Reformation. In nine essays embracing the histories of art, religion, and literature, Jeffrey Hamburger explores the interrelationships between the visual arts and female spirituality in the context of the cura monialium, the pastoral care of nuns. Used as instruments of instruction and inspiration, images occupied a central place in debates over devotional practice, monastic reform, and mystical expression. Far from supplementing a history of art from which they have been excluded, the images made by and for women shaped that history decisively by defining novel modes of religious expression, above all, the relationship between sight and subjectivity. With this book, the study of female piety and artistic patronage becomes an integral part of the general history of medieval art and spirituality

Abstract

Caterina Vigri (later Saint Catherine of Bologna) was a mystic, writer, teacher and nun-artist. Her first home, Corpus Domini, Ferrara, was a house of semi-religious women that became a Poor Clare convent and model of Franciscan Observant piety. Vigri's intensely spiritual decoration of her breviary, as well as convent altarpieces that formed a visual program of adoration for the Body of Christ, exemplify the Franciscan Observant visual culture. After Vigri's departure, it was transformed by d'Este women patrons, including Isabella da Aragona, Isabella d'Este and Lucrezia Borgia. While still preserving Observant ideals, it became a more elite noblewomen's retreat. Grounded in archival research and extant paintings, drawings, prints and art objects from Corpus Domini, this volume explores the art, visual culture, and social history of an early modern Franciscan women's community.

Working from an extraordinary and previously unknown group of devotional drawings made by a Benedictine nun for her cloistered companions, Hamburger discusses in unprecedented detail the distinctive visual culture of female communities. Hamburger's book reconstructs the artistic, literary, and institutional traditions that shaped the lives of cloistered women. In illuminating the patterns and protocols of viewing that governed the nuns' devotional and liturgical life, Hamburger convincingly demonstrates the overwhelming importance of "seeing" in devotional practice, challenging traditional assumptions about the primacy of text over image in monastic piety. His presentation of the "visual culture of the convent" makes a fundamental contribution to the history of medieval art and more generally, of late medieval monasticism and spirituality.
