| Title: | Preparation for Christ's Entry into Jerusalem |
|---|
| Notes: | “The frescoes in the parish Church of St. Martin at Nohant-Vicq constitute one of the most extensive and best preserved ensembles of Romanesque monumental painting in central and southwestern France. ...a prime example of a major work that has been studied almost exclusively from the standpoint of style. The single painter who executed the frescoes commanded a vigorous and powerful style...the painter’s distinctive manner of generating forms is accompanied by unusual interpretations of narrative subjects...The scene of the Entry [into Jerusalem] is...divided into two parts. The representation of Christ mounted on an ass and greeted by excited youths is contained in the upper register of the south wall. The fortified city of Jerusalem, its gates crowded with youths whose mouths are open in song,is isolated as a separate image..."(Kupfer, 38) Donated by James T. Womack and Anne Richardson, Nashville, TN. |
