Abstract

En Occident, les églises cathédrales et paroissiales ont façonné le paysage urbain et rural. Elles structurent le territoire de la ville et sont souvent le coeur du village. Le lien entre l'église et le cimetière, qui rapatrie très tôt la communauté des morts au côté de celle des vivants, crée une continuité des générations et une identité historique. Mais qu'est-ce qu'une église? Elle est d'abord le lieu du rassemblement des chrétiens, où se manifeste l'ecclesia. Elle réunit clergé et laïcs pour célébrer le dialogue permanent des fidèles avec Dieu. Ces rassemblements rythment le temps commun autour des grandes fêtes (temps liturgique), le temps des familles (baptêmes, mariages, décès) et le temps personnel de chaque chrétien. Signe dans la ville, lieu du rassemblement, l'église est une création humaine qui, par son architecture et son décor, présente ce dialogue de l'homme avec son Dieu et de l'Eglise avec la société. Naissant dans une société romaine où l'image est omniprésente, la pastorale chrétienne utilisera, dès ses débuts, la création artistique, d'abord à l'intérieur puis à l'extérieur des édifices. Ce livre retrace l'histoire de cette forme architecturale et de son décor, montrant comment elle est tributaire de deux évolutions qui s'interpénètrent, celle de l'Eglise et celle des formes artistiques. Alain Erlande-Brandenburg livre ici une synthèse passionnante qui s'étend sur vingt siècles d'histoire, de Constantin à nos jours.

Abstract

In this book, Robert Bork offers a sweeping reassessment of late Gothic architecture and its fate in the Renaissance. In a chronologically organized narrative covering the whole of western and central Europe, he demonstrates that the Gothic design tradition remained inherently vital throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, creating spectacular monuments in a wide variety of national and regional styles. Bork argues that the displacement of this Gothic tradition from its long-standing position of artistic leadership in the years around 1500 reflected the impact of three main external forces: the rise of a rival architectural culture that championed the use of classical forms with a new theoretical sophistication; the appropriation of that architectural language by patrons who wished to associate themselves with papal and imperial Rome; and the chaos of the Reformation, which disrupted the circumstances of church construction on which the Gothic tradition had formerly depended. Bork further argues that art historians have much to gain from considering the character and fate of late Gothic architecture, not only because the monuments in question are intrinsically fascinating, but also because examination of the way their story has been told - and left untold, in many accounts of the "Northern Renaissance" - can reveal a great deal about schemes of categorization and prioritization that continue to shape the discipline even in the twenty-first century

Abstract

What was it that gave medieval art and architecture its form and style? What is it that attracts people to medieval art and architecture, especially that of the Cistercians? What shaped medieval buildings and determined their embellishments - and what now determines the way we look at them?Some of the most intriguing questions in monastic and ecclesiastical architecture and archaeology are discussed in this tribute to Peter Fergusson and his lifetime of scholarship as an historian of medieval art and architecture, especially of the Cistercians.These thirty-four essays range from a discussion of the earliest Christian legislation on art (fourth century) to an account of a garden project of 1811 designed to efface all previous monastic habitation. Between these chronological signposts are studies on the design, siting, building, and archaeology of churches, infirmaries, abbots’ lodgings, gatehouses, private chambers, grange chapels, and the life lived within and around them. Geographically, the papers range from the British Isles through Spain, France, Flanders, and Germany to the centre of the medieval world: Jerusalem.They treat of the complexities of building and re-building; of architectural and artistic adaptations to place, period, and political upheaval; of the interrelationship of text and structure; and of the form, iconography, and influence of some of the great churches and cathedrals of the Middle Ages. This is a wide-ranging and authoritative collection of studies which is essential reading for any historian of medieval art and architecture.
