Description
From a modern perspective, the secular and religious spheres separated at the close of the late mediaeval period. This study is the first to make clear, however, that a fundamentally religious atmosphere exerted a decisive influence on the beginnings of genre art in the second half of the 15th century. A new form of piety united everyday life and faith and spiritualised reality. In this sense, early genre paintings could convey Christian doctrinal content and episodes from the story of salvation using typified pictorial figures. This is the case, for example, in Martin Schongauers Peasant "Family Going to Market" as an updated flight into Egypt, the Wolfegg house book as a practical devotional work, or Peter Christs "A Goldsmith in his Shop" as a vocational scene, as this monograph demonstrates on the basis of in-depth pictorial analyzes. New perspectives on key, early works of genre painting The first genre paintings in the context of innermost piety Including late mediaeval sermon practice and the doctrine of remembrance
