Título / Title: Twelfth and early thirteenth century polychromy at the northernmost edge of Europe: past analyses and future research / Policromia nos séculos XII e início de XIII no extremo norte da Europa: análises passadas e pesquisa futura
Ved å se den fargerike (polykrome) middelalderkunstens maleriske uttrykk i lys av materialitetsoppfattelsen i middelalderens kristne univers, fremstår et visuelt vokabular som kan analyseres mot tidens kulturelle kapital. Denne artikkelen diskuterer hvordan en konserveringsfaglig innfallsvinkel kan bidra til en tverrfaglig tilnaerming til disse verkene. Videre hvordan kunnskap om gjenstandenes materialitet bidrar til økt forståelse av deres rolle som formidlere av det hellige som del av en større katolsk tradisjon i Europa.
A consistent line of thinking about matter, colour and form continued into the Middle Ages from the Classical period. Our present views on the Classical and medieval works of art are coloured by how they have been perceived throughout their timeline. Therefore, it is fruitful to discuss polychromy in a broader historical context. The idea for this special issue came about when researchers specializing in ancient and medieval polychromy met for the first time at the seminar Perceiving matter. Visual, material and sensual communication from Antiquity to the Middle Ages and Beyond, held at the Museum of Cultural History, 5 April 2019 under the auspices of the Polychrome Art History Research Group. Marina Prusac Lindhagen initiated the seminar and invited Kaja Kollandsrud to co-organise the event.
