The Gothic Sculpture of Uppsala Cathedral: On Spiritual Guidance and Creative Joy

0/5 ( ratings)

The aim of this book is to present to an international audience the medieval sculpture of Uppsala Cathedral, in particular that of the High Middle Ages to be found mainly in the choir, where in the decades around 1300 French workshops were at work, among them that of Estienne de Bonnueill. The emphasis is on the figural material and its interpretation, but examples are also given of the foliate ornament, which is of a very high standard. Part of the book is devoted to a series of reliefs on the corbels around the sanctuary. According to the author, its programme was most probably intended to be used primarily in the spiritual guidance offered by the church. The book also gives an exposé of the figures on the capitals and portals. The imagery here consists in part of sometimes rather unorthodox fabulous beasts, no doubt partly products of the sculptors' imaginations.
