Looking Beyond Jerusalem: A Fifteenth-Century Exercise in Image Comparison

Hanna Vorholt

Critical image comparison is a widespread art-historical practice. This essay explores why a Brabantine artist encouraged viewers to exercise it in the late fifteenth century. At the time, northern European artists tested out how images could be means of transcending the visible world while simultaneously showcasing their very constructedness. The self-reflexivity that characterises such images has engendered a particularly rich field of art-historical studies. This essay focuses on a little-known image which was designed to combine two visual concepts devised more than three centuries apart – a twelfth-century map of Jerusalem, and a cityscape popularised in the fifteenth century – and required viewers to realise this combination in their minds, using external images recollected before their internal eyes. In its complex conception, the image becomes a unique contributor to the vibrant debate about the right use of images in late medieval devotion, and to the long history of image comparisons.

展望耶路撒冷之外:十五世纪的图像比较练习



批判性图像比较是一种广泛的艺术史实践。本文探讨了为什么一位布拉班特艺术家在十五世纪末鼓励观众练习它。当时,北欧艺术家测试了图像如何成为超越可见世界的手段,同时展示其构造性。这些图像所具有的自我反思性催生了一个特别丰富的艺术史研究领域。本文重点关注一个鲜为人知的图像,该图像旨在结合两个相隔三个多世纪的视觉概念——十二世纪的耶路撒冷地图和十五世纪流行的城市景观——并要求观众在他们的想象中认识到这种结合。头脑,使用他们的内眼之前回忆起的外部图像。凭借其复杂的概念,图像成为中世纪晚期关于正确使用图像的激烈辩论以及图像比较的悠久历史的独特贡献者。
