Expanded knowledge and independent application of art-historical methods on examples referred to in the lecture
Inhalt: Looking at the medieval depiction of saints one is still impressed by the fashionable figuration of the protagonists of these paintings. The dressed up saints present to us the narration of the bible in a previously unknown way. The saints are shown in a timeless stereotype form of their dress. This mode changes radically in the fifteenth century.
Judging from the artistic and literary evidence, the depiction of saints presents a new aspect of dress in religious communication. This lecture will present this new aspect and deals with the relationship between the general dressing style of the respective time period, the vestment of saints, as well as the development of presenting them in the fourteenth and fifteenth century. It is also intended to show the character of media communication between the images of saints and their patrons, in order to provide evidence and show the development of the dress code (vestment code) as a part of Iconology.
