    Les Belles Heures du Duc de Berry

    June 11, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Parisians and their visitors are in for a treat: for the last time they will get to see the beautiful, individual leaves of the Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry, before a valuable piece of their cultural heritage is whisked off once more to foreign climes. The Belles Heures is one of the most beautiful examples of an illustrated ‘book of hours’, a ‘devotional’ book for our devout, God-fearing medieval ancestors who felt like once a week just wasn’t devoting enough time to God, so they ordered manuals with instructions on how to pray better and more regularly at home. In today’s increasingly secular society, many of…

    Vendez votre âme au diable…

    June 7, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Qui n’a pas été effrayé, enfant, par « le monstre caché dans le placard » ou par la séquence de La Nuit sur le Mont-Chauve, dans Fantasia de Disney ? Qui n’a pas été impressionné, adulte, par les griffures sur le corps de Mia Farrow dans Rosemary’s Baby ou par la scène dans la cabine d’essayage dans L’Associé du diable ? Qui, enfin, peut oublier le visage de la jeune Linda Blair et la voix de Pazuzu après avoir vu L’Exorciste ? Au xxe siècle, la religion chrétienne imprègne moins les croyances des individus que par le passé, et pourtant le diable semble nous obséder plus que jamais… En effet, le personnage du diable nourrit toujours l’imaginaire des romanciers, des…

    El Cielo, el Infierno y la Buena Muerte

    June 5, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Durante la Edad Media, el poder de la Iglesia Cristiana era incuestionable, así como su influencia sobre las ideas y el orden moral de la población en general. La religión era una temática predominante en el arte medieval y, con demasiada frecuencia, la figura del Jesucristo glorioso en su trono constituía el elemento central de las composiciones. A Él le correspondía la facultad de juzgar a justos y a pecadores y de imponer condenas eternas. De esta forma, el arte trataba de dar respuesta al interés por el destino del hombre fortaleciendo la fe de los virtuosos y aterrorizando a los escépticos. Veamos, por ejemplo, el Juicio Final (1425-1430) de…

    Heaven, Hell and Dying Well

    June 4, 2012 / 0 Comments

    The Christian Church of the Middle Ages was the most important institution of the time, holding an unyielding power over what the general population thought and believed. More often than not, art of the period venerates Jesus in all of His glory, placing him at the centre on a throne, judging who shall pass through the gates of Heaven and who will be banished to eternal damnation. These images gave strength to the many believers while terrifying some skeptics towards belief. Take Fra Angelico’s The Last Judgement (1425-1430) for example (above). Christ sits in judgement on a white throne surrounded by John, Mary, the saints, and angels, his right hand…
