They hold an open book in their hands and gesture towards it. The heavy and bloated drapery with curving Folds, the chubby yet expressive Faces and the sense oF intimacy in the sculpture clearly indicate its belonging to the School oF Burgundy, as Robert Didier stated in an extensive report in 2014. The reFined sculpture is oF a very high quality in spite oF the unFortunate damage to the Flank. It has been carved and Finished on all its sides which could indicate that it was conceived as a Freestanding statue. However, it may also have been part oF a sculpted altarpiece. In the Burgundy school and in other schools, sculptures in altarpieces were oFten highly Finished, even on the back. Like most sculptures oF this school, the statuette was probably painted and gilded. Robert Didier has pointed out the pronounced similarities oF the present Virgin and Child with the style oF Claus Sluter (c. 1355-1406), indicating that the artist who had executed the sculpture must have trained with him. For example, it shows resemblances with the Virgin and Child sculpted in stone by Claus Sluter and his workshop that decorates the portal pillar in the monastery oF Champmol (Fig. 1-2), especially in the Face oF the Virgin, in the way oF carving the elongated eyes, the round cheeks and the double chin. Figs. 1-2: Claus Sluter, Virgin and Child, portal oF the Chartreuse de Champmol, Dijon Born in Haarlem, Sluter worked in Brussels and probably in Paris beFore moving to the Burgundian capital oF Dijon in 1385. Philip the Bold, Duke oF Burgundy, had summoned Sluter, along with other sculptors coming From the same region, in order to constitute the Workshop oF Champmol under the direction oF the Court Sculptor Jean de Marville. The latter died in 1389 and Sluter became the so-called “imagier” oF the Duke until his death. Claus Sluter and his workshop, with their northern background, would give an original and remarkable identity to Burgundian sculpture. In 1396, Sluter welcomed a new assistant, Claux (or Claus) de Werve, his own nephew, who was soon to become his closest collaborator. AFter the death oF his uncle in 1406 de Werve took over the position oF Court Sculptor and later worked For the Duke John the Fearless. 1 Claus de Werve worked on Sluter’s masterpiece, the monumental sculpture known as the Well of Moses (1395-1403), created For the Carthusian monastery oF Champmol. He also executed the angels For Sluter’s Calvary in the same monastery. His most important and well-documented undertaking was the tomb oF Philip the Bold, which had been planned by his predecessors, Jean Marville and Claus Sluter. Sluter had died beFore being able to properly work on the tomb, thus it was mainly executed by Claux and his collaborators, between 1406 and 1410. The recumbent Fig. 3: Mourners From eFFigy was adorned by two angels sculpted by Claux himselF, the Tomb oF the Dukes a lion and Forty mourners in alabaster. Each mourner shows of Burgundy. a remarkable individuality and a diFFerent tinge oF sadness or Dijon, Musée des Beaux- anger towards the death oF the Duke (Fig. 3). This attention Arts to realism and expressiveness is typical oF the Champmol workshop. Unlike his uncle who was almost exclusively working For the ducal court, Claux de Werve took a new direction, diversiFying his commissions and creating sculptures For private patrons. Hence, the De Werve workshop produced sculptures For noble Families, For the clergy and For the municipality. These patrons were all keen to appropriate some prestige by commissioning works From the court sculptor. As underlined by Véronique Boucherat, Claux was a highly giFted and complete master, and his works can be Found in several regions oF France, especially in Franche-Comté. The well- documented monumental sculpture oF the seated Virgin and Child now in the Metropolitan Museum oF Art in New York Fig. 4: Claux de Werve, Virgin and Child. (painted limestone; H.135 x W.114 x D.71 New York, Metropolitan Museum oF Art cm) was created For the convent dedicated to Poor Clares at Poligny and was probably a giFt oF John the Fearless or his wiFe, Margaret oF Bavaria (Fig. 4).2 Dated between 1415 and 1417, it shows the intimacy and tenderness distinctive oF Claux de Werve’s works. Robert Didier established a strong parallel between our sculpture and the Virgin of the Grapes (limestone; H.130 x W.65 x D.32 cm) in the church oF Notre-Dame in Auxonne, recognised as a work by Claux de Werve dated between 1415 and 1420 (Figs. 5-6). Looking at the Finish oF the veil, the delicate round Faces, the hands with long Fingers and nails precisely sculpted (a typical Burgundian detail) and the voluminous drapery, both Virgin and Child should be, according to the expert, considered by the same artist. He noted however a stylistic evolution between the two sculptures. The Virgin of the Grapes appears Further developed in the Formulation oF the Burgundian canon and thereFore he suggests a dating around 1410-1415 For the walnut tree Virgin and Child. We would like to suggest another parallel with a walnut Virgin and Child (H.39 x W.27 x D.13 cm) kept in the church oF Saint-Pierre in Château-Chalon. The sculpture, damaged in its lower halF, with traces oF painting and gilding, has been securely ascribed to Claux de Werve by Véronique Boucherat on stylistic criteria (Figs. 7).3 Strong similarities with our Virgin can be observed in the proFile oF the Virgin and the round Face oF the child with a large Forehead and very elongated, almost closed, eyes. The motiF oF the Child sliding his Fingers into the book is also a recurrent motiF and can be seen in several sculptures by Claux de Werve. One interesting detail in our sculpture is particularly rare: the Child’s head is covered by a scarF attached around his neck. This motiF appears in two other Virgin and Child From the Burgundian school: in the standing Virgin in alabaster attributed to Claux de Werve or his workshop in the church oF Sainte-Marguerite in La Chaux-des-Crotenay (H.85 x W.35 cm) (fig. 8) as well as in the sitting Virgin in the church oF Saint-Germain in Molay.4 Figs. 5-6: Claux de Werve, Virgin of the Grapes.

  • The Interior As an Embodiment of Power (Heidelberg 2018) - 57 - Wilson , ‘Furnishing the Dukes with a Royal Reputation’
    Furnishing the Dukes with a Royal Reputation: The Use of Chambers and Chapels at the Burgundian Court Katherine Anne Wilson (University of Chester, United Kingdom) Recalling his visit to the Burgundian court of Philip the Good in 1466, the Bohemian nobleman Leo of Rozmital remarked: when we arrived at the castle where the old duke resided, the duke Charles [the son of Philip the Good] dismounted and asked my lord to do the same. Then tak- ing him by the hand he led my lord into the presence of the old duke. The duke was seated in a hall on a throne which was hung with cloth of gold woven with great splendour, as befitted the ducal hall […] when they knelt a third time, at last the old duke gave his right hand to his son and afterwards to my lord. Then with one in either hand he led them into his chamber through nine other rooms.1 Leo described an elaborate residential complex of multiple connected rooms, in which function and furnishings were mutually dependent elements. Studies of the architecture of the elite resi- dences of later medieval Europe have confirmed this picture of an elaborate complex of rooms.2 Yet, in spite of the implication that function and furnishings were mutually dependent elements, there has been relatively little investigation of furnishings and still less of furnishings as an en- semble.3 Given the evidential constraints, this is perhaps not as surprising as it seems. Detailed contemporary descriptions of interiors are rare. Inventories taken on a ruler’s death do record furnishings, but one inventory can include close to a thousand objects.

As the kingdom of France consolidated and royal authority was extended, political power became centered in the person of the king and his bureaucratic advisers. One consequence was the decline or once powerful members of the feudal aristocracy and the queen. In the time of the early Capetians, the queen had been a true partner in power with the king, traveling with him and sharing the same household. But by 1500, she was excluded from power and participation in government, and her intimacy with the ld.ng was undermined by the formation of a separate household. By the thirteenth century the governmental functions of the queen were ceremonial, decorative, or sym­ bolic. Thus it was only under extraordinary circumstances that a queen could gain independent political power, and such was the fate of Isabeau of Bavaria. When she married Charles VI, ld.ng or France, in 1385, he was under a regency controlled by four dukes, but in three years Charles asserted his sole authority by releasing them.

G.J. van der Zwaan, ingevolge het besluit van het college voor promoties in het openbaar te verdedigen op vrijdag 18 mei 2018 des middags te 2.30 uur door Eliane Andrea Fankhauser geboren op 24 juli 1986 te Winterthur, Zwitserland Promotor: Prof.dr. K. Kügle This thesis was accomplished with financial support from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). Acknowledgements My first encounter with the polyphonic fragments which are the subject of this study happened on an afternoon at the Special Collections of the Utrecht University Library. The fragments were presented during a general introduction into the Special Collection’s keepings of music manuscript and fragments. Immediately, I was fascinated by the frag- ments’ formats, notational features, and music and text scripts. That a research project about these fragments would be anything but a simple undertaking was apparent from the very deteriorated state of some of the fragment leaves. Nevertheless, I was eager to delve into them. If only I examined them closely enough, these—at first glance—random assemblies of fragment leaves will reveal more about their genesis and history of use, so I thought. This idea kept me going during the whole process of doing research. That it proved wrong may be a disappoint- ment at first sight but really this is one of the most important insights that I will take with me in my further career.

  • Alabaster Tears the Mourners of the Tomb of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy 27 February - 3 June 2013
    PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE ALABASTER TEARS The Mourners of the Tomb of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy 27 February - 3 June 2013 Started in 2010 during the renovation of the Musée des beaux-arts de Dijon, the international exhibition tour of the mourners of the tomb of John the Fearless will make its last stop at the Musée de Cluny. 39 figures forming the procession of the dead prince will be presented in a scenography highlighting the dramatic intensity as well as the subtlety of each of the sculptures. The mourners of the tomb of John the Fearless are to be counted among the masterpieces of 15th century Burgundian sculpture. They come from the tomb of the Duke of Burgundy and of his wife Margaret of Bavaria which was commissioned by their son Philip the Good in 1443. The first sculptor to dedicate himself to the tomb was Jean de La Huerta until 1456. He sculpted the delicately chiseled gallery, the mourners, the angels featured on the tombstone as well as the funeral helmet. His successor Antoine Le Moiturier carved the recumbent effigies from 1466 to 1469, and completed the mourners and the arches. It was required by contract that both artists’ final work should remain as true as possible to the design of the tomb of Philip the Bold, father of John the Fearless. Attributing the mourners to either 6 place Paul Painlevé one of them is therefore quite tricky. In the scenography designed for the Musée de Cluny, 75005 Paris the mourners, clerics and laymen altogether, some wearing long, hooded mourning cloaks, T.

Burke, Svante Norrhem, and Merry Wiesner-Hanks This series provides a forum for studies that investigate women, gender, and/ or sexuality in the late medieval and early modern world. The editors invite proposals for book-length studies of an interdisciplinary nature, including, but not exclusively, from the fields of history, literature, art and architectural history, and visual and material culture. Consideration will be given to both monographs and collections of essays. Chronologically, we welcome studies that look at the period between 1400 and 1700, with a focus on any part of the world, as well as comparative and global works. We invite proposals including, but not limited to, the following broad themes: methodologies, theories and meanings of gender; gender, power and political culture; monarchs, courts and power; constructions of femininity and masculinity; gift-giving, diplomacy and the politics of exchange; gender and the politics of early modern archives; gender and architectural spaces (courts, salons, household); consumption and material culture; objects and gendered power; women’s writing; gendered patronage and power; gendered activities, behaviours, rituals and fashions.
