Faculty Lecture: Materializing Metaphor
Bodies, Buildings, and Ephesians 2:11-22 in Medieval Art
Peter Low ponders the meaning of public religious art in churches in the Middle Ages by investigating one episode in the history of a remarkable pictorial project. The project was rooted in the visualization of a biblical passage full of metaphors, to rich theological effect. Low demonstrates how these visualizations were designed to activate architecture in devotional terms and, at the same time, to unite the congregation with Christ.
