Bronze doors, Saint Michael's, Hildesheim, commissioned by Bishop Bernward, 1015
We know that Bishop Bernard went on a pilgrimage to Rome, and then returned back to Hildesheim and wanted to recreate some of the monumental art that he saw.발음듣기
And specifically when he was in Rome, he saw the monumental wooden doors at Santa Sabina that have scenes from the Old and New Testament carved into them.발음듣기
We read these starting in the upper left hand corner, in which you have the creation of Eve from the side of Adam.발음듣기
The panel below that, interrupted by the door handles, and we see Adam working the land on the left - Eve nursing on the right.발음듣기
And a fun fact about Eve's nursing is that this is one of maybe only twenty images of Eve nursing.발음듣기
And then instead of going back to the top on the right it starts at the bottom, where we have the Enunciation with Mary and the Angel.발음듣기
Above that we've got Christ being presented to either Herod or Pilate before his crucifixion.발음듣기
About that we have the Marys at the tomb, which was the standard scene showing the resurrection in the early Middle Ages.발음듣기
Now one of the really interesting things that happens here, is that we have all the scenes lined up next to each other.발음듣기
And the one that I think is a really good example - in the third panel from the top, we've got the Temptation.발음듣기
And if we look at the tree that holds the fruit in the Adam and Eve scene- it's very much a cruciform shaped tree - just as we have Christ on the cross in the center of the other image.발음듣기
And then we have Adam and Eve on either side - just as we have the tormentors on either side.발음듣기
And then on he far edges of the Adam-and-Eve scene, we've got trees and then we have Mary and John in the crucifixion scene.발음듣기
Which is a really important idea for Christianity - and especially for Christianity in the Middle Ages.발음듣기
Absolutely. This is a very long, old tradition in Christianity - to compare Christ as the new Adam- and then Mary as the new Eve.발음듣기
And it's very much thought that the lost wax method was used here - that Bishop Bernward had his artists recreate or rediscover the lost-wax method, so that these doors could be cast in two single pieces, as opposed to being hammered from the inside with the 'repos?'발음듣기
And that is very much in keeping with that Carolingian and the inherited idea of looking back to classical and ancient models and reclaiming them and reviving them.발음듣기
