Art History Faculty Publishes Research
Art History faculty Rebecca Ruppar has recently published an article in Peregrinations: Journal of Medieval Art & Architecture.
In "A Hierophany of Nature in Early Franciscans' Wood-Panel Paintings," Ruppar examines how the religious order founded by Francis of Assisi emerges as one of the most prolific patrons of the arts in the 13th century, creating images to encourage devotion among the Christian laity.
The basic, organic elements of these paintings: wooden boards, animal glue, linen, linseed oil, and egg tempera paints conceivably held a deeper meaning derived from their founder's nature-imbued spirituality that exalted God's earthly creation. The paintings created by the early Franciscans may be understood as exhibiting a kind of "active respect" for nature.
