“…54 If we consider texts concerning the medieval art of memory, we arrive at a different and much more positive interpretation of the isolated money-changer figure in the Rooklooster image. 55 These texts recommend using a clearly ordered set of places (loci) in which one stores striking images (imagines) associated with a series of ideas, concepts, or other items one wishes to remember; the latter can then be recalled and elaborated upon when moving from one place to the other in the mind, 56 as if moving through an imagined museum-space that includes self-curated artworks. 57 In the prologue to his Chronicon, Hugh of St Victor explains:…”

Critical image comparison is a widespread art‐historical practice. This essay explores why a Brabantine artist encouraged viewers to exercise it in the late fifteenth century. At the time, northern European artists tested out how images could be means of transcending the visible world while simultaneously showcasing their very constructedness. The self‐reflexivity that characterises such images has engendered a particularly rich field of art‐historical studies. This essay focuses on a little‐known image which was designed to combine two visual concepts devised more than three centuries apart – a twelfth‐century map of Jerusalem, and a cityscape popularised in the fifteenth century – and required viewers to realise this combination in their minds, using external images recollected before their internal eyes. In its complex conception, the image becomes a unique contributor to the vibrant debate about the right use of images in late medieval devotion, and to the long history of image comparisons.
