Elizabeth C Teviotdale

A consideration of the origin of a group of cuttings contained in a 19th-century album (Collegeville, Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, Bean MS 3), with an analysis is the relationship of the initials' figural subjects to the texts they introduced. The cuttings, a series of historiated and decorated initials, were taken from one of a pair of choir books made in northern France or Flanders for a house of Cistercian nuns in the 13th century.

The "Hereford Troper" And Hereford, Elizabeth Teviotdale Dec 1994

The "Hereford Troper" And Hereford, Elizabeth Teviotdale

Elizabeth C Teviotdale

The probability of a Hereford origin for the so-called Hereford Troper (London, BL, MS Cotton Caligula A.xiv (troper) is re-examined. The longstanding opinion that the paintings in the troper share an exclusive stylistic affinity with those in a gospel lectionary known to have been at Hereford at an early date (Cambridge, Pembroke College, MS 302) is challenged, and it is proposed that the Hereford provenance of the 11th-century gospel-lectionary does not constitute reliable evidence concerning the origin of the troper (now also called the Caligula Troper).

Elizabeth C Teviotdale

Examines the inscriptions in seven manuscripts and on a portable altar. All of the inscriptions are hexameters. Argues that the Anglo-Saxons understood the poetry to be an essentially written and visual (as opposed to oral) art form and that, even as the literary pretensions of the poetry declined during the course of the late Anglo-Saxon period, the presentation of the poetry increased in its sophistication.

The Filiation Of The Music Illustrations In A Boethius In Milan And In The Piacenza Codice Magno, Elizabeth Teviotdale

Elizabeth C Teviotdale

Proposes a common prototype from the tradition of illustrated manuscripts of Cassiodorus’s Institutiones as the explanation for the close iconographic relationship between music illustrations in a manuscript (here dated to the 11th century) of the De arithmetica and De musica of Boethius (Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, MS C.128 inf.) and in the 12th-century Codice Magno (Piacenza, Biblioteca Capitolare, MS 65). Suggests that the iconography may have originated in a Carolingian scriptorium.

Form And Meaning: The Conventionalization Of The Leaf Ornament, Kresten Jespersen Dec 1986

Form And Meaning: The Conventionalization Of The Leaf Ornament, Kresten Jespersen

Kresten Jespersen

As did Owen Jones, Bloomer argues for a modern style of ornament to decorate a modern architecture. Based on formal laws rather than theories of classical or naturalistic imitation, conventionalization can be seen as being explicitly modern. Moreover, deriving from the work of ornament, these laws are dependent on intrinsic rather than extrinsic principles.


The Drawings And Paintings In An Ottonian Epistle-Lectionary, Elizabeth Teviotdale Sep 1985

The Drawings And Paintings In An Ottonian Epistle-Lectionary, Elizabeth Teviotdale

Elizabeth C Teviotdale

A consideration of the relative chronology of the drawings and paintings in among the five completed miniatures of Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz, MS theo. lat. fol 34, an epistle lectionary, presumably of the 10th century. Concludes that the originally intended iconography of the scenes in the Berlin manuscript is, in each case, distinct from that of the corresponding scene in the Codex Egberti (Trier, Stadtbibliothek, MS 24) and that the iconographic elements which peculiarly link the the Berlin manuscript to the Trier manuscript were added after the paintings were finished.

A Speculation On An Affinity Between Ruskin's Seven Lamps Of Architecture And Monet's Cathedrals, Elizabeth Teviotdale Dec 1982

A Speculation On An Affinity Between Ruskin's Seven Lamps Of Architecture And Monet's Cathedrals, Elizabeth Teviotdale

Elizabeth C Teviotdale

Discusses John Ruskin’s architectural aesthetics and his view of the Gothic style as expressed in his Seven Lamps of Architecture. Discovers similarities between Ruskin’s ideas and the ideas and methods of Claude Monet, evident in his series of paintings of Rouen Cathedral, 1892-1895. Describes how Ruskin’s theories grew out of and advanced beyond the aesthetics of the Gothic revival movement, and how Monet’s paintings relate in a similar way to earlier 19th-century depictions of Gothic architecture. Ruskin’s redefinition of the picturesque is seen as the key to establishing a relationship between his theories and Monet’s paintings.
