Abstract

From skeletons to strips of cloth to little pieces of dust, reliquaries can be found in many forms, and while sometimes they may seem grotesque on their surface, they are nonetheless invested with great spiritual and memorial value. In this book, Cynthia Hahn offers the first full survey in English of the societal value of reliquaries, showing how they commemorate religious and historical events and, more important, inspire awe, faith, and, for many, the miraculous.

Abstract

A study of the beautifully crafted medieval reliquaries that enshrined holy relics, and their wider historical, cultural, political and religious context. Drawing on three major museum holdings, as well as featuring iconic pieces from other international public and private collections, this book looks at the phenomenon of holy relics in the Middle Ages. Thematic essays and object entries by leading scholars trace the history and development of the cult of relics, from its beginnings in late Roman funerary practices to its rise in both Byzantine East and the West.

Abstract

Many masterpieces of central African sculpture were created to amplify the power of sacred relics that affirm a family's vital connection to its ancestral heritage. This important volume, focusing on some 130 works representing a diverse variety of regional genres, illuminates the purpose and significance of these icons of African art, which first came to prominence because of their appeal to the Western avant-garde. While providing an overview of sources ranging from colonial explorers, missionaries, critics, artists, and art historians, the book breaks new ground in its examination of the complex aesthetic and spiritual dimensions of the reliquaries. Its interdisciplinary approach brings together the perspectives of scholars in African and medieval art history along with those in African history, religion, and ethnography.

Abstract

"Les images-reliquaires, dont la singularité attire notre attention, se définissent par la complexité de leur composition tant au point de vue artistique qu'au point de vue religieux. Il s'agit ici des peintures sur panneau de bois (plus rarement, sur verre églomisé), ayant fonction de porte-reliques, et décorées dans certains cas de pierres précieuses ou semi-précieuses. Le modèle de tableau-reliquaire : panneau unique, diptyque et triptyque comprenant le portrait de la Vierge à l'Enfant enchâssé dans une large bordure incrustée de reliques, se répandit particulièrement dans la péninsule italienne, et par la suite en Europe centrale. Cependant, les reliquaires polonais, connus sur le territoire de la Petite-Pologne durant le xve siècle jusqu'au début du siècle suivant, ne sont mentionnés que de manière sporadique dans l'histoire de l'art. Ils sont apparus dans quelques articles, mais sans avoir fait l'objet d'aucune analyse spécifique quant à leur contenu iconographique, leur similarité formelle, ainsi qu'à l?égard de leur usage dévotionnel. C'est pourquoi, nous souhaitons les joindre aux créations semblables répandues dans l'art entre Orient et Occident au Moyen Âge. Dans la même optique, il serait également intéressant de s'interroger sur la continuité de tels objets au-delà de l'époque médiévale." Source : cover

Abstract

Reliquaries, one of the central art forms of the Middle Ages, have recently been the object of much interest among historians and artists. Until now, however, they have had no treatment in English that considers their history, origins, and place within religious practice, or, above all, their beauty and aesthetic value. In Strange Beauty, Cynthia Hahn treats issues that cut across the class of medieval reliquaries as a whole. She is particularly concerned with portable reliquaries that often contained tiny relic fragments, which purportedly allowed saints to actively exercise power in the world. Above all, Hahn argues, reliquaries are a form of representation. They rarely simply depict what they contain; rather, they prepare the viewer for the appropriate reception of their precious contents and establish the "story" of the relics. They are based on forms originating in the Bible, especially the cross and the Ark of the Covenant, but find ways to renew the vision of such forms. They engage the viewer in many ways that are perhaps best described as persuasive or "rhetorical," and Hahn uses literary terminology--sign, metaphor, and simile--to discuss their operation. At the same time, they make use of unexpected shapes--the purse, the arm or foot, or disembodied heads--to create striking effects and emphatically suggest the presence of the saint.
