There's no foreshortening attempted in the stand for the book.Description Illuminated manuscript on vellum, signed by William Detheck, 'Garter Principall Kinge of Arms', with letter portrait of the Royal herald and three-sided foliate border incorporating the grantee's coat of arms and emblems pendant wax seal, framed and glazed Photo credit Photo © Christie's Images / Bridgeman Images Keywords I see the artist wrestling with trying to give us a more three-dimensional view of Matthew, while at the same time the artist is missingīadly in the footstool here and its very strange position in relation to where Matthew was actually sitting. Where this frenzied line style allows for a lot of highlighting and shadowing, and the shadows recede. I see several ways in which theĪrtist is trying to do that. Issues of perspective, and trying to bring back a greater sense of realistically representingįigures in three dimensions. Female 1: With CarolingianĪrt, we see artists trying to wrestle with Charlemagne was particularly interested in reviving the artistic styles that were used in the early Christian period, and particularly those associated with the Roman Emperor, Constantine. Those styles were more naturalistic, kind of unlike most Medieval artists. He engaged in art reform by encouraging artists and scribes to study and copy the artistic and writing The Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day in the year 800, and he was a really big reformer. The term Carolingian, what we really mean is art at the time of Charlemagne. This gets associated with the Gospel writers. Female 2: Yeah, theįour Apocalyptic beasts. Female 1: And the four Apocalyptic beasts. Each of the Gospel writers has their own attribute, which is related Note Matthew's attribute up in the upper right-handĬorner, which is a winged man. In the upper part, again a very classical motif. Female 1: We see a littleĬlassically inspired landscape with buildings Female 2: I think it's also interesting because this is a distinct style in contrast to other Carolingian works. Psalter and that these lines must have been how Carolingian artists interpreted classical drawing style. Think of these frenzied, crazy lines, and when I think of this, I think of the Utrecht We think of this artist, the Ebbo master, and we These, I think of them as frenzied lines. Or book as we know it, took off with Christianity. Female 2: It is interesting, he's writing in a codex which became popular with the advent of Christianity. Hand holding a knife which holds the page down. Images, Medieval manuscripts of people writing, IĪlso see one hand holding a stylus and the other Medieval people wrote with one hand with the stylus, the other hand with an ink horn. You can see he's writing with his stylus. To the more modeled images of even the same period and especially of late antique and classical painting. Is this charged, energetic, very expressive style in contrast Something that makes this gospel book particularly interesting Here is the evangelist composing his Gospel book, hunched over writing very energetically. This is Matthew from the Ebbo Gospels, dated around 820s, 830s. (music) Female 1: We're here at the International Congress
