Reassessing English Alabaster Carving: Medieval Sculpture and Its Reassessing English Alabaster Carving: Medieval Sculpture and its Contexts PhD, University of East Anglia, Art History and World Art Studies December, 2018 Lloyd de Beer 1 Abstract Alabaster sculptures in the form of panels for altarpieces or free standing images were one of the most significant artistic outputs of late medieval England, but they remain poorly understood. They have, moreover, featured only rarely in wider art-historical studies of the later European Middle Ages. On one hand this is a historiographical predicament. For ideological and aesthetic reasons, English alabaster was quarantined; it was seen as an isolated and provincial phenomenon by a series of scholars writing from the late nineteenth century onwards. The narrow picture they formed has remained firmly in place. On the other hand the destructive consequences of the English Reformation continue to obscure our view. Many hundreds of panels are broken or dispersed as a result of sixteenth-century iconoclasm, and there is little surviving documentary evidence to identify who made them or where they were made for. The central aim of this thesis is to reassess English alabasters by exploring them in their proper European contexts. Chapter One sets the scene by outlining the status and significance of English alabaster carving after the Reformation. From here the discussion moves on in Chapters Two and Three to explore the production of altarpieces and free-standing sculptures. Chapter Four builds on this approach by reuniting a single altarpiece, before zooming out to address the trade, reception and functions of Continental prints and sculptures circulating between England and the Low Countries. This chapter demonstrates the complex interplay between printed and sculptural forms. Chapter Five looks at the post-medieval reception and reuse of English alabasters on the Continent, specifically in Denmark and Holland. By considering English alabaster sculpture in a broader European context, a new history of 2 the corpus and a new framework for understanding its status and significance is proposed. 3 Reassessing English Alabaster Carving: Medieval Sculpture and its Contexts Table of Contents Acknowledgments 5 Introduction: 7 Chapter 1: The Status and Significance of English Alabaster after the Reformation: Iconoclasm, Concealment and Rediscovery 38 Chapter 2: The Kettlebaston Altarpiece at the British Museum: Reconstruction, Iconography and Context 94 Chapter 3: English Alabaster Abroad I: Imitation or Invention?

What irked Ramsay about Cheetham’s catalogue was his seeming lack of awareness that the sculptures were part of a wider European context, mostly ignored by scholars working on English alabasters. They were presented in the catalogue as if they were originally produced in provincial isolation, which is strange given that they were traded across Europe during the Middle Ages. Stranger still, the V&A’s collection of English alabasters was primarily formed from collecting activity taking place across Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Cheetham failed to discuss, at much length, Walter Leo Hildburgh, the major collector and donor of the vast majority of the V&A’s alabasters; a fascinating individual with a deep interest in English folklore.3 Why the alabasters were desired and how they might have functioned was beyond the scope of Cheetham’s catalogue. His project was one of collation and classification, organising the alabasters by type and arranging those types in a relatively vague chronological order. Cheetham went so far, Ramsay stated, as to break up whole, or partially complete altarpieces into iconographic groups which reduced the images to a simple typology. Readers of the catalogue are thus required to navigate complicated cross- 1 Nigel Ramsay, “Review: English Medieval Alabasters. With a Catalogue of the Collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum, by Francis Cheetham (Oxford: Phaidon-Christie's, 1984)”, The Antiquaries Journal, 66(2), 1986, 472-473. 2 Francis Cheetham, English Medieval Alabasters. With a Catalogue of the Collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum (Oxford: Phaidon-Christie's, 1984). 3 Catherine Oakes, “Dr Hildburgh and the English medieval alabaster”, Journal of the History of Collections, Volume 18, Issue 1, (1 June 2006), 71–83. 7 referencing to reunite the panels and make the altarpiece whole again. In effect, this makes any attempt to see beyond the iconography of the sculptures a difficult task. For Cheetham, each sculpture was practically the same as others in the corpus and the method by which they were presented in the publication worked to reinforce this premise. If the study of English alabasters in the 1980s was hampered by a decontextualized – or typological - approach, then it has yet to be rectified in any serious way. All of the most important sculptures remain poorly understood and there has been, as yet, little attempt to situate any of the many thousands of English alabasters within a wider European framework, which has been done for several groups of Continental sculpture made during the same period, roughly 1300 to 1550.4 This fact is reflected in the display of English alabaster sculpture in museums across Western Europe and the United States. Those with the largest collections: the V&A, the British Museum, the Burrell Collection, Nottingham Castle Museum, the Musée des Antiquités Rouen, the Musée de Cluny-Musée national du Moyen Âge, and the Musée du Louvre, all display their English alabasters in isolation, sometimes with very little 4 This list is not intended to be exhaustive but is produced to emphasise the range and depth of research into Continental altarpieces.

  • 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.

The Herrings and the First Great Combine PART II The Hanseatic League in England By Walter Mucklow The Site From the earliest times the German merchants had a depot behind Cannon street station, near the foot of the narrow Dow­ gate hill bordering the west side of the station. Apparently this neighborhood had for centuries been a centre of activities, for in few London streets have there been found more Roman remains than in Thames street, along a part of which ran the old Roman river wall, built on oak piles, overlaid by a stratum of chalk and stone and covered with hewn sandstone set in cement. In places this wall is twenty feet thick and some of the beams were 18 inches square. The Easterlings, as the early German merchants were called, first settled here and occupied the Hall of the Easterlings: later the merchants of Cologne held a part of Dowgate: and subse­ quently these two united, being then known as the “Merchants of Almaigne” and owned the “Dutch Guildhall.” The site was important, for in early times Dowgate was the only city gate opening to the river; therefore, it controlled foreign traffic and was of great value to the Germans in their efforts to govern this important business.
