Claus Sluter and Claus de Werve, Mourners, from the Tomb of Philip the Bold
(piano playing) [Dr. Zucker] We're in the museum of fine arts in Dijon and we're looking at one of the great treasures of Burgundy.발음듣기
These are the mourners, a series of small alabaster carvings of Carthusian monks, the clergy, and the family mourning the death of Philip the Bold, the Duke of Burgundy.발음듣기
[Dr. Harris] The Dukes of Burgundy, specifically at this time Philip the Bold ruled Burgundy which included Flanders areas that are today France.발음듣기
He was very powerful, very wealthy and he had established a Carthusian monastery just outside of the city walls of Dijon as a burial place for his family.발음듣기
These mourning figures occupied an arcaded space below a sculptural effigy of the Duke himself in prayer and Angel's ushering him into Heaven.발음듣기
The idea of making his tomb there was that the monks in this monastery would be available to pray for the soul of Philip the Bold.발음듣기
[Dr. Zucker] The most remarkable element here is the individuality of each of these figures.발음듣기
[Dr. Harris] That's something that Claus Sluter, who was one of the sculptures, along with Claus de Werve was known for, a kind of attention to realism and expressiveness.발음듣기
[Dr. Zucker] There's something incredibly powerful and monumental about these tiny little figures.발음듣기
[Dr. Harris] They're certainly not the ethereal swaying figures that we see normally in Gothic art.발음듣기
Here's this transitional moment away from the Gothic toward what we think of as the Renaissance.발음듣기
The figures have that waviness and a new monumentality to the drapery and bodies that we associate with the Renaissance.발음듣기
But these figures are so expressive, each one represents, in a way, a different aspect of grief.발음듣기
[Dr. Harris] This is a figure where we don't see the face at all, we see hood in place of a face and this vertical folds of drapery gathered in one place where the monk underneath is obviously holding the drapery in a sense of pain.발음듣기
[Dr. Zucker] That's right, it's turning inward and the drapery becomes as expressive as a human face, as hands even when they're not exposed to us.발음듣기
[Dr. Harris] In some ways it's almost incredibly modern, it's like Martha Graham in Dance where the movement of folds of cloth is expressive of feeling.발음듣기
[Dr. Zucker] I love the way so many of the figures deal with the pain of mourning in an isolated way.발음듣기
Seeing these figures isolated outside of the context of the effigy allows us to see that abstraction.발음듣기
Of course, this would have been just one element in a grand space that was meant to honor the dead.발음듣기
