Resumen de Herbert L. Kessler: Les jeux du texte et de l'image. La libération du visuel dans l'art médiéval
A review of Neither God Nor Man. Words, Images, and the Medieval Anxiety About Art, a book by Herbert L. Kessler. This dense and rich book continues Kessler's investigations into the way in which medieval men and women saw, and sometimes lived, painted and sculpted images, especially of Christ. Kessler takes the Nec Deus est nec homo, praesens quem cernis imago/Sed Deus est et homo quem sacra figurat imago distic as his point of departure and analyzes its circulation in 11th-, 12th-, and 13th-century texts, as well as its close relationship with images of the crucified Christ.
