Staging the liturgy : the medieval altarpiece in the Iberian peninsula / by Kroesen, Justin,1975-(CARDINAL)864543;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 415-441) and index.The origin and development of the medieval retable in the Iberian peninsula -- The medieval choir in the Iberian peninsula: form and location -- Between the two choirs: the crossing as a crossroads of activity -- Consequences for the retable -- Iconography of the medieval retable in the Iberian peninsula -- The retable in its religious and historic context.Spain and Portugal possess a wealth of medieval churches, including many with original furnishings. Most outstanding of all is the altarpiece or 'retablo', the epitome of Iberian ecclesiastical art. With its exceptional dimensions, architectural structure and extensive imagery, it became clearly distinct from altarpieces elsewhere in Europe. The retable cannot be understood simply as an artistic genre, but must be viewed in its spatial surroundings and against its religious and socio-cultural background. In the present study, the medieval altarpiece in the Iberian Peninsula is approached as a witness to liturgy, faith and devotion. Part I sketches its morphological development from its origins around 1100 to the end of the Gothic age in the first half of the sixteenth century. Part II analyses the retable in its spatial context, formed by the architecture of the church building and other elements of the interior such as the choir. In Part III the retable is discussed as a means of communication, conveying a message between the patron who commissioned it and the recipients. Both as an art object and as a bearer of imagery, the altar retable played an important part in the staging of liturgy in the medieval church of the Iberian Peninsula. --!

Uneasy communion : Jews, Christians, and the altarpieces of medieval Spain / by Mann, Vivian B.,editor,contributor.(CARDINAL)153693; Glick, Thomas F.,contributor.(CARDINAL)127934; Lacarra Ducay, María Carmen,contributor.(CARDINAL)835800; Burke, Marcus B.,contributor.(CARDINAL)139888; Museum of Biblical Art,issuing body.(CARDINAL)281434;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-169) and index."Published in conjunction with the exhibition Uneasy Communion: Jews, Christians, and the Altarpieces of Medieval Spain, this volume provides a fascinating study of the iconography of altarpieces and the artistic collaboration between Jews and Christians. In the multicultural society of late medieval Spain, Jewish and Christian artists worked together to produce retablos (large multi-paneled altarpieces) as well as Latin and Hebrew religious manuscripts. The authors of this highly illustrated volume explore the methods, imagery, workshops, and shop styles, and the relationship between Christians and Jews at this time, including their portrayal of one another through dress and appearance. The volume also offers a significant investigation into the position of the Jewish community in medieval Spain against the backdrop of rising antisemitism and the growth of the Inquisition." "The essays featured in this volume take us on a journey from the general to the particular, and include a study of Jewish communities within Spanish society of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries by Thomas F. Glick; a survey of the painting of the period by Carmen Lacarra Ducay; an examination of specific artworks that address the issue of Jewish-Christian relationships by Vivian B. Mann; and a historiography of scholarship on Jewish involvement in the creation of Spanish medieval art by Marcus B. Burke"--Jacket.

Early Netherlandish carved altarpieces, 1380-1550 : medieval tastes and mass marketing / by Jacobs, Lynn F.,1955-(CARDINAL)364929;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 329-341) and index.Between about 1380 and 1550, carved wooden altarpieces became a major art industry in the South Netherlands. Richly gilded and lavishly polychromed, these works consist of a sculpted center and painted wings, usually showing narrative cycles of the lives of Christ and Mary. This is the first full-scale study of these works. It examines the late medieval aesthetic and religious tastes that these altarpieces were designed to satisfy, and the proto-modern methods used to mass market these works.
