medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Jim:
I hope you can read Spanish. I came across with a reference in: CRESPO
PRIETO, Rosalía, "Las pinturas murales de la catedral de Mondoñedo",
_Estudios Mindonienses_: "María ante el Padre Eterno el Día del Juicio
descubriendo los pechos que han alimentado a su Hijo. Cristo, por otro
lado, muestra sus llagas a Dios Padre. El origen literario de este
tema se remonta al s. XII (L. Réau, II**, Cap. I, p. 122); se
encuentra por primera vez en un sermón de Arnaud de Chartres, abad de
Bonneval, que era amigo de San Bernardo. En su _De laudibus B. Mariae
Virginis_ dice: 'La Mère devant le Fils monstrant ses mamelles. Le
Fils devant le Père montrant ses plaines cruelles'. Este tema, como
señala Mª Carme Lacarra aparece desarrollado en el siglo XIV en el
poema de un letrista de Bayeux titulado _Advocatrice Nostre Dame_. El
tema se hace frecuente al final de la Edad Media bajo la influencia
del _Speculum Humanae Salvationis_. Desparece después del Concilio de
Trento. Ver: Ana Domínguez Rodríguez " 'Compassio' y 'Co-Redemptio' en
las Cantigas de Santa María. Crucifixión y Juicio Final", _Archivo
Español de Arte_, 281 (1998), pp. 17-35".
If my memory serves, a brief paper in The Burlington Magazine (or
Apollo?) analizes this iconography. I am sorry, but can't find the
reference.
Best Regards
Carlos Sastre
