  • The City of Corinth and Its Domestic Religion
    THE CITY OF CORINTH AND ITS DOMESTICRELIGION (PLATES 87-90) A LTHOUGH much attention has been devoted to Greek religion, most of the em- phasis has been upon majorgods and goddesses. Informationis readily availablein ancient official or state records and inscriptions, or by interpretationof sanctuaryarti- facts and architecture.Much less information is available for the understandingof the humbler aspects of religion as practicedalong the byways and in the neighborhoodsof the urbancenters of Greece. To judge by such descriptionsas Pausanias'enumeration of the hero shrines found throughout the city of Sparta,1by such archaeologicalremains as the street shrines and altars at the entrances of houses in Delos2 and by Wycherley's study for Athens,3 to use three examples, one suspects that small neighborhoodshrines were commonly scattered throughout many Greek cities, even though they appearin different forms in different places. Little literarytestimony and even less epigraphicalevidence exist for neighborhood and domestic religion at Corinth, as contrasted with official or public religion. Still one is able by examinationof the archaeologicalremains to present a reasonablepicture of a pre-RomanCorinth studded with numerous neighborhood shrines of various sorts and with still others within the houses themselves. One type of shrine is that set in the open, along a roadwayor in a small open-air temenos, picturedcommonly on reliefs of the Hellenistic period.4The sacred areas are marked by statues raised high on tall shafts. Such shrines appear not to have been uncommon in Corinth. Two tall shafts with cuttings on their tops for statues are pre- I Pausanias,III. 12-16. 2p.

  • Jiří Kupka: Římov – South Bohemian Jerusalem
    Acta Geoturistica Volume 10 (2019), number 1, 51-60 Římov – South Bohemian Jerusalem Jiří Kupka1,* 1 České vysoké učení v Praze, Fakulta stavební Katedra urbanismu a územního plánování Thákurova 7, 166 29 Praha 6, ČR Abstract Římov is located in southern Bohemia, about 12 km south of České Budějovice and 13 km northeast of Český Krumlov. This is one of the finest examples of baroque landscape stemming from Catholic mysticism, created by combining landscape, architecture, and the arts. The essence of the value of the Římovsko consists mainly of a large pilgrimage complex with a distinct spiritual and ideological content emphasizing three fundamental moments of the history of salvation: The preparation for salvation is personified through the Virgin Mary in the Loretto Chapel with an extensive Marian cycle of murals in the surrounding cloister. The Christ´s suffering, which brought hope of salvation to humanity (Calvary), takes place in the religious community in the Church of the Holy Spirit. In Bohemia, this is a unique topographic reproduction of the original in Jerusalem. On one side is the Mount of Olives and on the other is Calvary with the Holy Sepulchre. The most famous era of this pilgrimage place is associated with the activities of the Jesuits. They came to the village of Dolní Římov in 1626 and worked there until the abolition of the order in 1773. At the core of the pilgrimage place is the Loretto Chapel with the Church of the Holy Spirit in the centre of the village and a unique Way of the Cross runs through the village and also through open countryside of fields and forests around the village and along the Malše River.

  • This Dissertation Considers How a New Approach to Understanding Historic Collections Will Be Able to Provide Fresh Perspectives
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE PHENOMENAL LIVES OF MOVABLE CHRIST SCULPTURES Tanya A. Jung, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Professor Meredith Gill Department of Art History and Archaeology This dissertation deals with a fascinating and understudied group of free-standing Christ sculptures that were moved in imitation of Christ during the dramatic observances of late medieval Holy Week. They adhere to general iconographic formulas, but stand apart from other depictions of Christ in one important respect—they were elaborately kinetic. Congregations animated these images in a variety of ways, from basic manual operation in processions and elevations to the manipulation of fitted joints, wheels, hand cranks, and elevation apparatuses. Scholars who study movable Christ sculptures use them as evidence for liturgical and para-liturgical observances recorded in written texts, they approach them as aesthetic objects or as objects of folk tradition, and they discuss their place in the development of medieval sculpture and architectural space. I argue, however, that these images have more meanings to offer. Accordingly, these meanings are available when we consider not only their material and symbolic forms and their performative functions, but also their shifting cultural locations in medieval and modern Europe. Movable Christ sculptures were edifying and sacred images, disconcerting idols, homely folk objects, and works of art. My aim in this dissertation is to write a cultural biography of the lives of these images—in other words, a history that can account for the varied connotations of movable Christ sculptures in different instances of practice, reception, and response. It is my contention that these images, because of their performative function, experiential qualities, mimetic form, relatively anonymity, and “thingness,” present an ideal opportunity to exercise cultural biography from an art historical perspective.

Few men there are who having once visited Greece do not contrive to visit it again. And yet when the returned traveller meets the ordinary friend who asks him where he has been, the next remark is generally, “Dear me! have you not been there before? How is it you are so fond of going to Greece?” There are even people who imagine a trip to America far more interesting, and who at all events look upon a trip to Spain as the same kind of thing—southern climate, bad food, dirty inns, and general discomfort, odious to bear, though pleasant to describe afterward in a comfortable English home.

  • The Sacred Geometry of Perfect Forms in East and West
    The Sacred Geometry of Perfect Forms in East and West Understanding Religious Buildings: Different Perceptions - Identical forms A CONCEPTUAL and VISUAL COMPARISON OF RELIGIOUS ARCHITECTURE - EAST AND WEST By Richard Cooler, Art History, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois Identical Geometric Forms - The square, the circle, and the triangle Differing Concepts: Importance of the circumference as opposed to the center General Overview Architecture Western Classical architecture, such as that of Greece and Rome, as well as the Eastern architecture of Hinduism and Buddhism considered the circle, the square, and the triangle to be the most perfect of building forms. These geometric forms are directly expressed in architecture, but especially in religious structures. However, a difference in perception - the western emphasis on the periphery or circumference of each form as opposed to the eastern focus on the center - led, in part, to the creation of building types in East and West that differ in how religious buildings look, in how they are experienced, and in how they are used. Sculpture In Greece and Rome the same forms, the circle, square, and triangle, were used as the measure of the perfect physical body. This belief was revived during the Renaissance and was the subject of several drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. One of these is pictured below. Figure 1 Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci In countries practicing Hinduism and Buddhism, a different system representing physical perfection and beauty was employed. A series of analogies were used as the measure of bodily perfection such as “a nose like a parrot’s beak” or “a chin like the seed of a mango”.
