Taking as its point of departure the common medieval reception of bronze sculpture as living or animated, the study closely analyzes the practice of lost wax casting (cire perdue) in Western Europe and explores the cultural responses to large scale bronzes in the Middle Ages. Starting with mining, smelting, and the production of alloys, and ending with automata, water clocks and fountains, the book uncovers networks of meaning around which bronze sculptures were produced and consumed. The book is a path-breaking contribution to the study of metalwork in the Middle Ages and to the re-evaluation of medieval art more broadly, presenting an understudied body of work to reconsider what the materials and techniques embodied in public monuments meant to the medieval spectator"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-289) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Of bronze things -- Making -- Signification -- Acting -- Being -- Appendix 1: AdeÌmar of Chabannes (988-1034), Making a crucifix -- Appendix 2: Hugh of Fouilloy (ca. 1096-1172), On the cast sea in the temple -- Appendix 3: On the benediction of bells, excerpt from the Gellone Sacramentary. 650 0 $a Bronzes, Medieval $z Europe. 650 0 $a Bronzes, European $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Bronze sculpture, European $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Monuments $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Metal-work $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Bronze $z Europe $x History $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Bronze $x Metallurgy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839436 650 7 $a Bronze sculpture, European. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839513 650 7 $a Bronzes, European. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839572 650 7 $a Bronzes, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839596 650 7 $a Metal-work. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01017786 650 7 $a Monuments. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025892 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=78121D28EAD411E7BA71765497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
