Synopsis

When works of art created for religious purposes outlive their original function, they often take on new meanings as they move from sacred spaces to secular collections. Focusing on the centuries in which the phenomenon of collecting came powerfully into its own, the fourteen essays presented here analyze the radical recontextualization of celebrated paintings by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Rubens; bring to light a lost holy tower from fifteenth-century Bavaria; and offer new insights into the meaning of sacred and profane. Collecting represents the primary mechanism by which a sacred work of art survives when it is alienated from its original context. In the field of art history, the consequences of such collectingits tendency to reframe an object, metaphorically and physicallyhave only begun to be investigated. Sacred Possessions charts the contours of a fertile terrain for further inquiry. Quatorze études autour des collectionneurs d'art religieux italien entre 1500 et 1900. 17,9 x 25,5 cm
