medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear John, Carlos, and Diana, Obviously, I should have followed the advice I used to give students: when puzzled by an image associated with a text, read the text! Thanks for your tolerance of an ignorant question-- I'm more familiar with iconography of the 4th c. than of the 14th. The Duccio parallel cited by John is especially nice. http://www.wga.hu/art/d/duccio/maesta/verso_2/verso11.jpg Now I suppose that the question should be, why would the cloth be so very much larger on the ivory than in other images? Best, Genevra ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
