[Blog Post] An Allegory of Salvation (Koen Gheuens & Cary Rapaport)

[LisaFaginDavis]

This is interesting, Koen. I'm not quite convinced, but I see where you're going. That kind of late-medieval Christological devotion tends to be centered in northern Europe, so you'd need to factor that into your work. I'd also suggest that you spend some time with the illustrations of the Scivias, which take this devotional framework to a whole different level. Much earlier than the VMS, of course, but Hildegard was ahead of her time! Also, Jeffrey Hamburger and other art historians have written about the late-medieval imagery of and devotion to Christ's wounds, so that might be helpful to you as well.
