Paper 1114-a | King Herod in the Cloister of Saint-Trophime in Arles: A Visual Declaration against the Cathar Heresy (Language: English) Index terms: Art History - General, Art History - Sculpture, Crusades, Religious Life |
Paper 1114-b | The Sculptural Program of Saint-Gilles-du-Gard: Neglected Images of Crusade and Heresy (Language: English) Index terms: Art History - General, Art History - Sculpture, Crusades, Religious Life |
Abstract | The proposed papers investigate three sculptural programs and the visual images they employed in the struggle against heresy in 13th-century Provence, 12th-century Languedoc and 13th-century Chartres Cathedral. No profiled iconography or pictorial tradition existed in the Middle Ages in the struggle against heresy. Thus, each paper is concerned with the specific intentions and attitudes of the patrons, the choice of the pictorial schemes, and the literary and visual sources of the programs. |
