“Mittelalterlich” / Medieval

The illuminated manuscript “Lancelot du Lac” (Lancelot of the Lake), recounting the exploits of that knight, seen here defeating an opponent. Written in Old French in the Late Middle Ages, circa 1310-1315 (although its binding was made in the 1800s), on display at the Morgan Library in NYC. I’ve shared a closeup of one page before, but here’s a better view of the whole spread.

An exquisite glimpse into premodern Burma, this illuminated manuscript encapsulates Buddhist ordination rites with its lavish calligraphy and vibrant celestial beings. How does the intricate design reflect the spiritual essence of the text?

I recently finished reading Richard Wollheim's "Painting As An Art".

I found much of it stimulating in the close attention paid to particular pictures and thought provoking with regard to his theory of "seeing in" as the way to understand our perception of paintings.

On the other hand, his use of psychoanalytic theory left me with questions.

Surprisingly, his use of this theory reminded of some recent reading of mine in evolutionary psychology. Both Wollheim and the evolutionary psychologists stress the significance of a common human nature and are inclined to downplay the importance of systems of symbols or culture in general.

I do think that a substantive concept of human nature makes sense, and I am open to the possibility of evolutionary psychology and psychoanalytical theory contributing to an understanding of of human nature.

Altogether less agreeable to me is the tendency of these theories to smuggle in a social ontology in which culture is merely the creation of atomized individuals. One can believe in the evolved nature of the mind and allow for the possibility of certain kinds of psychic forces at work in the individual without denying the importance, still less the existence, of social facts. Thinking about languages as at once learned and used by individuals but also existing as entities external to those individuals is helpful here.

Behold the exquisite blend of calligraphy and illustration in this illuminated manuscript from Burma. Celestial beings and lush vegetation characterize a celebration of Buddhist ordination. How do you interpret the symbolism of the nats and flowers?

Witness the beauty of a Kammavacha manuscript at #ClevelandMuseumofArt, where the intricate Pali script and celestial beings converge in a dazzling display of spiritual artistry. How do you think ornamentation enhances the meaning of sacred texts?

Medieval ordinary people could afford a nice house that you can't.

“This observation suggests another conclusion: that a measure of material well-being and economic prosperity had been attained by at least some members of peasant society in the fifteenth century. The architecture depicted in these illuminations indicates that they had achieved a standard of living above subsistence level.”
