    The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and The

    The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and the Margins of English Gothic Architecture MATTHEW M. REEVE For Eric Fernie This paper considers the sculpted capitals in Wells cathedral. Although integral to the early Gothic fabric, they have hitherto eluded close examination as either a component of the building or as an important cycle of ecclesiastical imagery in their own right. Consideration of the archaeological evidence suggests that the capitals were introduced mid-way through the building campaigns and were likely the products of the cathedral’s masons rather than part of an original scheme for the cathedral as a whole. Possible sources for the images are considered. The distribution of the capitals in lay and clerical spaces of the cathedral leads to discussion of how the imagery might have been meaningful to diCerent audiences on either side of the choir screen. introduction THE capital sculpture of Wells Cathedral has the dubious honour of being one of the most frequently published but least studied image cycles in English medieval art. The capitals of the nave, transepts, and north porch of the early Gothic church are ornamented with a rich array of figural sculptures ranging from hybrid human-animals, dragons, and Old Testament prophets, to representations of the trades that inhabit stiC-leaf foliage, which were originally highlighted with paint (Figs 1, 2).1 The capitals sit upon a highly sophisticated pier design formed by a central cruciform support with triple shafts at each termination and in the angles, which oCered the possibility for a range of continuous and individual sculpted designs in the capitals above (Fig.

  • Tilman Riemenschneider's Monochrome Sculpture

    Tilman Riemenschneider's Monochrome Sculpture

    Tilman Riemenschneider’s monochrome sculpture: an examination of its origins. by RUTH MARIE BUTTERY A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Philosophy Department of History of Art The University of Birmingham September 2009 Abstract This thesis explores the origins of the monochrome works of Tilman Riemenschneider (c.1460-1531) to clarify if this was an intentional finish. It focuses on the sculptor’s Münnerstadt, Rothenberg and Creglingen altarpieces. The discussion which combines new observations with previous scholar’s theories, examines the nature of the monochrome glaze and Riemenschneider’s carving of detailed sculptural surfaces to enhance the monochrome altarpieces; places Riemenschneider’s use of the monochrome medium in its social context, addressing both religious and secular concerns; researches the influence of three-dimensional and two-dimensional media on Riemenschneider’s development of the monochrome aesthetic; and investigates a theory put forward by Michael Baxandall concerning the use of natural sunlight in Riemenschneider’s monochrome altarpieces. The examinations conclude that monochrome was indeed an intentional finish by Riemenschneider, which in my view is strengthened though out this discussion by new comparisons between Riemenschneider and Jan Borreman (a Netherlandish contemporary). Similarities of compositional design, such as spatial arrangements and the use of windows in the back of the corpus demonstrate the likelihood of a connection between them.

    PART FOUR Investigations and Treatment 278 Monochromy, Polychromy, and Authenticity The Cloisters’ Standing Bishop Attributed to Tilman Riemenschneider Michele D. Marincola and Jack Soultanian 1975, Standing Bishop was acquired for The Cloisters collection, the Metropolitan Museum of IArt, New York. This piece—considered at purchase to be a mature work of Tilman Riemenschneider (ca. 1460–1531), a leading German mas- ter of Late Gothic sculpture—was intended to complement early works by the artist already in the collection. The sculpture (Fig. 1) is indisputably in the style of Riemenschneider; furthermore, its provenance (established to before 1907) includes the renowned Munich collection of Julius Böhler.1 The Standing Bishop was accepted as an autograph work by the great Riemenschneider scholar Justus Bier (1956), who was reversing his earlier opinion. It has been compared stylistically to a number of works by Riemenschneider from about 1505–10. In the 1970s, a research project was begun by art historians and conservators in Germany to establish the chronology and authorship of a group of sculptures thought to be early works of Riemenschneider. The Cloisters’ sculptures, including the Standing Bishop, were examined as part of the project, and cross sections were sent to Munich for analysis by Hermann Kühn. This research project resulted in an exhibition of the early work of Riemenschneider in Würzburg in 1981; The Cloisters sent two sculptures from its collection, but the loan of the Standing Bishop was not requested. Certain stylistic anomalies of the figure, as well as several Figure 1 technical peculiarities discussed below, contributed to the increasing suspi- Standing Bishop, attributed to Tilman cion that it was not of the period.

Weniger, Matthias. Tilman Riemenschneider: Die Werke im Bayerischen Nationalmuseum, Munich, 2017, Fig. 7.16. Description These three masterfully carved panels originally belonged to a predella supporting a monumental altarpiece. Depicting the twelve disciples, the panels are attributed to Tilman Riemenschneider’s workshop or his close circle. They are reputed to come from a church in Abenberg and were housed at the Bavarian National Museum until 1951. The figures of disciples on the long panel are divided into two groups of three. They include Matthias with an axe, Paul with two swords, Peter with the keys, John with a chalice, Thomas with an axe, and James, the son of Alphaeus, with a fuller’s club. The first short panel includes Simon with the saw, Jude with the club, and Andrew with the saltire. The second short panel includes Bartholomew with a knife, Philip with a cross, and St James with the scallop shell on his hat. The figures wear contemporary 16th century dress. The reliefs are set in against a flat background crowned by ornate tracery above. The back of the longer panel supporting the figures appears to have been cut down.

    Image captions on page 6 (Los Angeles—September 19, 2016) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is pleased to present Renaissance and Reformation: German Art in the Age of Dürer and Cranach. Coinciding with the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the exhibition brings to Los Angeles some of the greatest achievements of German Renaissance art. As the only U.S. venue of the exhibition, LACMA offers a unique opportunity to view masterpieces of this period, which have rarely been displayed outside of Germany. The period under consideration (1460–1580) was marked by conflicts, civil wars, and complex relationships with neighboring countries, but it also witnessed a flourishing of many states and cities, reflected in the skills of their craftsmen. Additionally, the era was characterized by profound changes in thought, philosophy, science, and religion, spearheaded by Martin Luther’s writings, which in turn transformed the work of many artists of the day such as Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach, Hans Holbein, Mathias Grünwald, Tilman Riemenschneider, and Peter Vischer. These revolutionary ideas and innovations played a transformational role in the development of modern Western societies. Organized with the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen München, and made possible by the German Foreign Office, the exhibition comprises over 100 objects, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, arms and armor, as well as decorative arts. “Renaissance and Reformation—organized in cooperation with these three German institutions—provides a rare opportunity to view works by artists not typically represented in local collections in Los Angeles,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director.

The church was decorated with sculptures describing the outer surface of the subjects received the Torah and the Bible. Artists, they have achieved a mastery Perceiving the structure of the body underneath clothes folds gradually. In the 12th century the main task of the sculptor was to try to northern cathedrals. The best examples of 14th century sculpture sculptures were made from precious metals and ivory to private chapels. to avoid the inclination to figure giving the impression stiffness was also achieved in this century. Although the statue after the first listen associated with mortals only began to be described; It passed from one figure to many figures. 13 sculptures tended to look like mortal men after century. Mary, just as a holy woman, he played as a host. British gothic architecture depends on the statue but was given after the 13th century.
