medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
As this is getting more detailed, I am writing to Laura off-list. But let me mention to others: if you need a larger view of some detail on a work I have documented, it is probably worth dropping me a note. Unless stated to the contrary in my caption, I normally have much higher-resolution versions of everything I post, and can easily break out various parts.
best,
Genevra

This was really kind of you!  I'm looking for images which will help me to test out a theory before I inflict it on the Warburg audience, and I need them to be true frontal as I want to take accurate measurements from them.  Most of your suggestions were a bit early for me, and I should have said images from one or two centuries before 1300, but I wasn't quite sure of what I was looking for myself.  

BTW- loved the Florence Baptistery images, but didn't have any sensible suggestions about the lady in question.

all best

Laura, how narrowly do you define "pre-1300" and "sculpted" and "portrait"? You might want to take a look in my online archive. I can offer frontal views of
"Dietrich" from his grave marker c.1000 and the flat effigy of Fredegunde now in St-Denis, both at http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/EleventhTwelfth2.html
the C13 central figure from the "House of the Musicians" in Reims, generally identified as the master of the house, http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/ReimsMusicians.html
the Carolingian rider figure often identified as either Charlemagne or Charles the Bald, http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/CarolingianRider.html
several C12 Byzantine saints in steatite, http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/ByzantineSteatites1.html
C11 Byzantine portrait coins, http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/Byzantine3.html
many Roman, Sassanian, and early Byzantine (and earlier) portraits on grave markers, free-standing sculpture, and cameos
and fully processed but not yet posted: C12 heads from St-Denis now in the Louvre
and some things I am not allowed to post, but could make available individually, including sculpture from Milan and Mainz
and a huge backlog not yet fully processed. If you supply more details about what you need, I could see what else I have. Is this for projection, for the Warburg (or some other) talk? I could easily break out a detail of the face of any of my fuller shots at projection size.
best,
Genevra

With apologies for cross posting.   I am looking for medium-to-large images of the faces of pre-1300 sculpted portraits, taken in pure frontal view.  I'm finding them surprisingly hard to find, so if you do happen to know of any I'd be grateful.

Many thanks

Laura
