The young bishopric of Molfetta, emerging in an economy of long-distance trade, competed with much wealthier institutions in its own diocese. Funding for the cathedral was slow and unpredictable. To adapt, the builders designed toward versatility, embracing multi-functionalism, change over time, specialization, and a heterogeneous style. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

Flamboyant Architecture and Medieval Technicality. The Rise of Artistic Consciousness at the End of Middle Ages (c. 1400 ? c. 1530)

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 89,00 | | Descrizione | This book seeks to further our understanding of the socio-genesis of artistic modernity by turning to microhistory. It explores a late-medieval decorative procedure that emerged and spread in northern and central France from the early fifteenth century to the start of the following century. Using the well-known miniature, the Building of Solomon?s Temple in Jerusalem from the fifteenth-century codex of Les Antiquités judaïques as a starting point, this study deals with architecture and technical knowledge of builders. This investigation unpacks and reveals many aspects of the technical and visual culture of late medieval craftsmen and artists. The virtuosic skills these artisans displayed are worthy of inclusion in the development of technical practices of Flamboyant Gothic architecture. They also reflect broader cultural and social configurations, which go far beyond the history of building. This micro-historical perspective on what can be called ?hyper-technical? Gothic contributes to our appreciation of the role of technical mastery in establishing social hierarchies and artistic individuation processes during the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

From the grand Latin cathedrals of Nicosia and Famagusta, the austere churches of the mendicant orders, and the magnificent monastic buildings of Bellapais Abbey to the imposing Greek and Nestorian cathedrals of Famagusta and the churches of the Eastern Christians (Armenians, Melkites, Maronites, etc.), Cypriot Gothic architecture evolved to serve the needs of the island?s multicultural and multicreedal society.This new study is based on original research on the physical fabric of Cyprus? Gothic ecclesiastical edifices, on a thorough exploitation of the published archaeological data, and on a new reading of the extant documentary sources (some of which are published here for the first time) to offer a fresh account of the development and place of Cypriot Gothic in the architectural history of medieval Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. It proposes to do so by reevaluating and recontextualizing the ambitions of the patrons and the choices (and compromises) of the master masons responsible for this unique monumental heritage. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Late Gothic Architecture. Its Evolution, Extinction, and Reception

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 119,00 | | Descrizione | In this book, Robert Bork offers a sweeping reassessment of late Gothic architecture and its fate in the Renaissance. In a chronologically organized narrative covering the whole of western and central Europe, he demonstrates that the Gothic design tradition remained inherently vital throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, creating spectacular monuments in a wide variety of national and regional styles. Bork argues that the displacement of this Gothic tradition from its long-standing position of artistic leadership in the years around 1500 reflected the impact of three main external forces: the rise of a rival architectural culture that championed the use of classical forms with a new theoretical sophistication; the appropriation of that architectural language by patrons who wished to associate themselves with papal and imperial Rome; and the chaos of the Reformation, which disrupted the circumstances of church construction on which the Gothic tradition had formerly depended. Bork further argues that art historians have much to gain from considering the character and fate of late Gothic architecture, not only because the monuments in question are intrinsically fascinating, but also because examination of the way their story has been told?and left untold, in many accounts of the ?Northern Renaissance??can reveal a great deal about schemes of categorization and prioritization that continue to shape the discipline even in the twenty-first century. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 105,00 | | Descrizione | Erected in large numbers from about 1300 onwards, and featuring increasingly sophisticated designs, wayside crosses and other edifices in the public sphere ? such as fountains, pillories and boundary markers ? constituted the largest network of images and monuments in the late medieval world. Not only were they everywhere, they were also seen by nearly everyone, because large sections of the populace were constantly on the move. Carrying an entire spectrum of religious, folkloric and judicial beliefs, these monuments were indeed at the very heart of late medieval life. This is the first critical study of these fascinating and rich structures written by a medievalist art historian. Focusing on the territories of the former Holy Roman Empire, this investigation considers such important edifices as the towering wayside crosses of Wiener Neustadt and Brno or the elaborate pillories of Kasteelbrakel and Wroc?aw, though less ostentatious works such as the Bildstöcke of Franconia and Carinthia or the high crosses of Westphalia and the Rhineland are equally examined. In addition, the study looks at the homiletic, literary, devotional and artistic imagination, in which wayside crosses and other such structures helped constitute a spiritual and allegorical landscape that very much complemented and put pressure on the physical landscapes traversed and inhabited by the contemporary public.

The Parish and Pilgrimage Church of St Elizabeth in Ko?ice. Town, Court, and Architecture in Late Medieval Hungary
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 2012 | | Collana: | Architectura Medii Aevi |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 89,00 | | Descrizione | One of the most important building projects in late medieval Hungary was the reconstruction of the parish and pilgrimage church of St Elizabeth in Ko?ice (present-day Slovakia). The burghers of this prosperous, free royal town decided to rebuild their main church shortly before 1400, and work continued, with several interruptions, into the late fifteenth century. Along with the ambitious and unusual design that emerged, far-reaching artistic connections with centres such as Prague and Vienna ensure the church?s exceptional value for architectural history ?not only within Hungary, but in the Central European region as a whole.
It is this value as an art historical document that the present work seeks to exploit. It approaches the church?s fabric as a source of information about patrons, masons, and congregations, attempting to locate the dynamics behind design choices made. This necessitates a detailed reconstruction of the building enterprise itself, before the focus shifts to the impact of the St Elizabeth?s project both in northern Hungary and further afield (Transylvania, Lesser Poland), allowing the town lodge?s remarkable achievements be set in inter-regional context.

This is the first comprehensive book on the architecture and
imagery of late medieval sacrament houses, those dazzlingly complex
microarchitectural structures designed for the paraliturgical
reservation and display of the eucharistic and real
present body of Christ. The study is embedded in a
discussion of sacramental theology and devotion, and traces the
development of this genre of furnishing from the introduction of
the Corpus Christi feast in 1264 to the first decades of the
Counter-Reformation, from the Low Countries to Hungary and the
Saxon settlements of Transylvania, from the Swedish island of
Gotland to the Swiss Canton of Graubünden. Much of the
argument is devoted to such major sacrament houses as those in
Leuvens Pieterskerk (1450) or St. Lorenz in Nuremberg
(1493-6), though provincial solutions like the dugout tabernacles
of the Brandenburg Marches are equally considered. The book is
intended as a contribution to the study of both Gothic
microarchitecture and the role of the visual in late medieval
devotional culture.

In 1927, the architect in charge of historical monuments, Henri
Deneux, published the first study devoted to the development of
carpentry from the eleventh century forward. Research has made
considerable progress in the field since then, particularly thanks
to the contribution of dendrochronology, which appeared in France
during the period 1970-1980, allowing precise dating of materials
to be provided based on the study of tree rings. This book is the
result of collaboration between architects, university scholars,
Belgian and French dendrochronologists, and offers a synthesis with
regard to carpentry from the XIth through the XIXth century, from
north of the Loire to Belgium. It contains a typological and
chronological classification with 300 examples of carpentry
constructions, and a catalogue of beautiful models preserved at the
Centre for research on Historical monuments in Paris. It is a
valuable reference work for all those art historians,
architects, building restorers who are interested in this
topic.

In the Christian art of western Europe images survive from as
early as the sixth century that show figures of founders or donors
bearing a model of the building they caused to be constructed,
renovated or embellished. Previous studies have tended to turn on
the question of how accurately these models represent the buildings
they were intended to portray. But the donors model cannot
be explained exclusively by comparison with its built equivalent.
The sculptors, goldsmiths, minters, mosaicists, painters, weavers
and sealmakers who created these little buildings were not always
aiming to produce a straightforward likeness of the edifice in
question but rather to represent its significance. The
donors model could underline the function or symbolic
importance of a building or be an expression of support for a
particular ruler. It could document real or fictive family ties,
validate a patrons position or enhance his prestige. It
could operate as a policy statement by lords temporal and
spiritual, be deployed as a weapon in ecclesiastical rivalries, or
serve as a visual charter to underpin the lawfulness and legality
of gifted privileges, properties and possessions.
Compressed Meanings approaches the donors model
primarily as part of an iconographic tradition whose origins can
shed light on the message the model-bearers and their models were
intended to convey.

The Year 1300 and the Creation of a new European Architecture

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 85,00 | | Descrizione | The theme of the book is the origin of Late Gothic architecture in Europe around the year 1300. It was then that Gothic ecclesiastical architecture graduated from a largely French into a wholly European phenomenon with new centres of art production (Cologne, Florence, York, Prague, Kraków) and newly-empowered institutions: kings, the higher nobility, towns and friars. Profound changes in spiritual and devotional life had a lasting effect on the relationship between architecture and liturgy. In short, architecture around 1300 became at once more cosmopolitan and more heterogeneous.
The book addresses these radical changes on their own terms- as an international phenomenon. By bringing together specialists in art, architecture and liturgy from many parts of Europe and from the USA it aims to employ their separate expertise, and to integrate each into a broader European perspective.
