对木材在中世纪德国艺术中的多种材料、生态和象征意义的启示性探索

在中世纪晚期的德国，木材是一种充满意义的材料。它是当地环境和经济的重要组成部分，本身也是虔诚的对象。 Gregory C. Bryda 考察了木材和绿色植物在艺术中的多重含义--作为一种材料、农业生活的特征以及象征，其木材与礼仪中的其他图腾产生了共鸣。布赖达探讨了马蒂亚斯-格吕内瓦尔德（以伊森海姆祭坛画闻名）和著名雕塑家蒂尔曼-里门施耐德等有影响力的艺术家如何利用木材的多价性，将精神主题与教堂围墙外的生活环境联系起来。这本图文并茂的书探索了那个时期复杂的视觉和物质文化，收录了从不朽的祭坛画到便携画等各种作品，让人们重新认识了艺术中的木材是如何在礼仪和日常生活中揭开自然世界的神秘面纱的。

A revelatory exploration of wood’s many material, ecological, and symbolic meanings in the religious art of medieval Germany

“A rewarding study that is full of new insights.”—Jeremy Warren, Art Newspaper

In late medieval Germany, wood was a material laden with significance. It was an important part of the local environment and economy, as well as an object of religious devotion in and of itself. Gregory C. Bryda examines the multiple meanings of wood and greenery within religious art—as a material, as a feature of agrarian life, and as a symbol of the cross, whose wood has resonances with other iconographies in the liturgy. Bryda discusses how influential artists such as Matthias Grünewald, known for the Isenheim Altarpiece, and the renowned sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider exploited wood’s multivalent nature to connect spiritual themes to the lived environment outside church walls. Exploring the complex visual and material culture of the period, this lavishly illustrated volume features works ranging from monumental altarpieces to portable pictures and offers a fresh understanding of how wood in art functioned to unlock the mysteries of faith and the natural world in both liturgy and everyday life.
