The ‘Middle Ages’ is a recent and shifting creation, at once a stratified historiographical elaboration and an appreciation of historical objects in the present. What we know and imagine shapes our perception. Studying the medieval arts therefore requires us to study medievalisms, and vice versa.
This volume, the result of work carried out in 2015/2016 at the German Centre for Art History in Paris, brings together fifteen studies on medieval artefacts and their subsequent history, up to the present day. They are accompanied by a review of German-language studies of medieval art in France since 1933.
With contributions by Philippe Cordez, Eveline Deneer, Frédéric Elsig, Iris Grötecke, Lukas Huppertz, Jacqueline E. Jung, Thomas Kirchner, Stephanie Luther, Kathrin Müller, Andrew Murray, Assaf Pinkus, Nina Reiss, Martin Schwarz, Judith Soria, Jean-Michel Spieser, Susanne Wittekind.
Philippe Cordez was Deputy Director of the German Centre for Art History in Paris from 2018 to 2023. He is now Deputy Director of the Museum Studies and Research Support Department of the Louvre Museum.
