BOX 1-22 |
Iconography, 1300-1985
(bulk circa 1350-circa
1550)
|
|
This series consists of photostats and photographic prints of musical iconography
dating from about 1300 to 1985, with the bulk from the fourteenth through
sixteenth centuries. These materials depict medieval musical instruments and
performance practices, with an emphasis on sacred imagery, as well as performances
at festivals and ceremonies during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries.
It is rich in imagery of percussion instruments and documents the use and
construction of the timpani through the twentieth century. While the vast majority
of the iconography is from illuminated medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, other
depicted media include stained glass, tapestries, ivory combs and mirror cases,
paintings, woodcuts, cathedral tympana, triptychs, and statuary. They were created
almost exclusively in Western Europe, but a few scenes from medieval Arabic
manuscripts are also notable. Most images are in grayscale and contain source
citations. The headings below are Bowles's titles from his original binders. |
