I was looking through my medieval art folder and I realized that I actually have a pretty scant amount of art from the Middle Ages besides the Codex Manesse. So, art thread of stuff actually painted/drawn/engraved from the Middle Ages anyone?

There are all kinds of medieval art on the internet. A lot has been uploaded by the Historical Fencing community, often taken from medieval and early modern fencing treatises and manuals.
From the Rochester Bestiary.

BL, Harley 4431, fol. 134v, some works of Christine de Pizan. Supposed to be showing the nymph Daphne.

I've been doing some work (loosely) with wild men lately. I find them endearing, though wild women are interesting in their own right. This is perhaps late for 'medieval' (c. 1500). A tapestry in the Basel Historical Museum.
>>60021
What. What the fuck. I didn't type that. 0.o

>>60024
>>60065
And this. Hard to get images of, but it's a late medieval courtship gift (minnekatschen - love casket) showing a woman taming a wild man. Again, endearing, considering they're usually violent.
Have some Byzantine mosaic.
Why is medieval art so awful and primitive looking?
>>60109
Gotta get that Christ Pantocrator in here, if we're going Byzantine. This one's from Daphne.
>>60109

>>60142
Fuck you.
But really, that's a sweeping generalization for 1000 years of art. The emphasis for much of that time is on meaning and the mental connections art evokes, not some Classical mimesis nonsense.
If you can't separate beauty from realizm, try some late medieval sculpture. Rheims has some lovely works.

Right, it's there just for novelty, not because some Americans had the sense to preserve medieval history rather than paint over it or cut it up, like many other manuscripts.
Also, here's a dick pic from the same Heures for fun. Bottom left corner.
>>60142
The point of art is different then. With the Renaissance, the more classical point of art returned. But the Orthodox Church still employs Medieval style art because their art doesn't have the same point as modernist art.
>>60142
Because you judge art by a particular viewpoint which was not universally shared across the globe throughout history.

I personally like this one, quite a lot of detail in the face (you can see his stubble) and the clothing itself. Also quite interesting is the landscape with water reflections and perspective and all.

No I mean late 12th to early 14th century France. Hundred Years War and Black Plague obviously fucked everything up.

Late medieval is 1300-1500 in my book. But if you meant France under Phillip Auguste or Phillip the fair the absolutely, they were riding an agricultural grain boom.

True dat but the country was still more or less in tact.
>>68407
The only reason Germany was kicked out of France so fast was that D-day was a great success supposedly by accident.
The Allies embarked on the wrong beach according to their own intelligence and the Germans were expecting them somewhere else entierly according to their intelligence as well.
Either the Allies were shrewd as fuck or lucky as fuck.
>>68127
Probably during the plague? But that wasn't really a France-centric thing
>>69540
Yeah that's a good one but not strictly limited to France.
During some years of the 100 years war they had bandit/mercenary groups of 1000 strong or stronger besiege cities, entire swaths of countryside were burned to the ground.
Can anyone more versed in art history answer a question for me? This piece in particular, depicting Ulrich von Lichtenstein and his head. I'm much more of an arms and armor guy, and I know that extremely elaborate head crests existed for tournament and parade wear made from basically paper mache and wood. My first instinct is that this woman is one such crest, possibly exaggerated. However, recently one of my professors claimed that this is actually symbolic and that it represents that the love of a lady was what he is thinking of. She's literally on his mind. I love this professor because she's basically an old German grandmother, but she's also blatantly wrong about a lot of medieval stuff because her focus is on the unification of Germany onward, she's getting pretty up there in years, and I think a lot of her medieval education comes from an overly romanticized classroom from the 1930's in Germany. Is she correct here, or am I right in taking a more literal interpretation?
>>62493
Hildegard's visions were pretty fucking trippy.
>>69733
I'd also like to know more about this
>>69733
It was a disguise. "A reference to the main narrative of the Frauendienst in which the poet, diguised as Venus, emerges from the sea at Venice to undertake a knightly expedetion." According to Michael Camille, anyway.
God bless those germanic grandmother professors. I've had a few, but they're always so damn unreliable.
>>69733
Have you looked up the history of Ulrich von Liechtenstein? I'm not an expert, so you might want to look more deeply into it, but Ulrich wrote an autobiographic (to which extent this is true to life is obviously rather questionable) work called "Frauendienst" where he dressed up as Lady Venus (likely depicted with a love arrow here) and challenged other knights in a tournament wearing drag.
Given the iconic and abstract nature of these depictions it is likely that depicting him wearing actual drag would have been rather confusing, so he's depicted wearing the insignia which gives him away as a tournament knight, but the artist put this particularly elaborate crest on top to remind people that he would actually have looked kinda like that.

art in the middle ages just wasn't that concerned with individual facial expressions. Their art was conceptual and iconic, related to the platonic idealism you see in Byzantine art.

It was generally believed that expressiveness during pain was a mark of personal weakness or even impety. A brave warrior (or a true martyr) should accept their death with dignity.
