Shaping Identities in a Holy Land Crusader Art in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: Patrons and Viewers

Shaping Identities in a Holy Land Crusader Art in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: Patrons and Viewers

In the 88 years between its establishment by the victorious armies of the First Crusade and its collapse following the disastrous defeat at Hattin the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was the site of vibrant artistic and architectural activity. As the crusaders rebuilt some of Christendom's most sacred churches or embellished others with murals and mosaics a unique and highly original art was created. Focusing on the sculptural mosaic and mural cycles adorning some of the most important shrines in the Kingdom (such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre The Basilica of the Annunciation and the Church of the Nativity) this book offers a broad perspective of Crusader art and architecture. Among the many aspects discussed are competition among pilgrimage sites crusader manipulation of biblical models the image of the Muslim and others. Building on recent developments in the fields of patronage studies and reception theory the book offers a study of the complex ways in which Crusader art addressed its diverse audiences (Franks indigenous eastern Christians pilgrims) while serving the intentions of its patrons. Of particular interest to scholars and students of the Crusades and of Crusader art as well as scholars and students of medieval art in general this book will appeal to all those engaging with intercultural encounters acculturation Christian-Muslim relations pilgrimage the Holy Land medieval devotion and theology Byzantine art reception theory and medieval patronage. | Shaping Identities in a Holy Land Crusader Art in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: Patrons and Viewers
