Medieval Art and Architecture – April 2013

This season Grove Art Online is once again pleased to present entirely new material devoted to medieval art and architecture—long an active area of research and publication in the visual arts. The 192 new articles in the four most recent online updates grew out of an even larger undertaking: the development of the award-winning volume Grove Encyclopedia of Medieval Art and Architecture, released in late 2012. This landmark print project, expertly guided by Colum P. Hourihane (Director, Index of Christian Art, Princeton University), updates and expands Grove’s existing coverage of this important field of study.
The entirely new articles added to the site include contributions from over one hundred international scholars and dozens of extraordinary art images. The articles cover art from the 3rd–4th centuries to the mid- to late 16th-century in a wide variety of media: architecture, painting, sculpture, books and manuscripts, metalwork, jewelry, mosaic, and textiles. Anchoring the recent updates are a number of thematic essays on topics of interest to today’s scholars, among them extended discussions of liturgy and art, gender studies, pilgrimage, courtly love, Arma Christi imagery, beast fables, amulets, scientific manuscripts, diagrams, classical themes, death, drama, visions, and the virtues and vices in medieval art. The group also features articles on important works, including the Alfred Jewel, Beatus manuscript, Ebbo Gospels, and Gloucester Candlestick; significant sites, including Hereford Cathedral and Somogyvár Abbey; and key figures, including Spanish illuminator and scribe Maius and art historian T. S. R. Boase.
We are grateful to the authors and editors for their invaluable contributions of new scholarship. This material complements Grove’s excellent coverage of medieval art history, which encompasses nearly 2,000 articles. Grove Art Online’s regular editorial updates serve to broaden existing areas of coverage and encourage the exploration of new subjects in the field of global art history. Please enjoy this installment and keep in touch with our editors.
