Kroesen, Justin/Peter Tångeberg: Helgonskåp

Medieval Tabernacle Shrines in Sweden and Europe. Departing from "saints' cupboards" (enclosures containing a single saint's effigy equipped with two, four or more wings) in Sweden, where more than one-third of the total European stock is preserved, this study explores the shrines as a European phenomenon in medieval art. The first chapters distinguish and analyse seven different types of tabernacle shrine, while the last sections focus on the object type as an artistic category, as a physical object in medieval church space, and on its remarkable survival in Lutheran Sweden. 352 Seiten mit 414 Farb- und 21 s/w-Abb., Großformat, gebunden (Michael Imhof Verlag 2021) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
