Lives “on hold” by Priscilla Boshoff

Des colonnes pour des vertus dans l’art communal italien du xive siècle by Bertrand Cosnet

“…This study precisely means to highlight an essential property of virtues, that is to say their architectonic characteristic in a figurative register as much as in a symbolic one. In order to do this, it first tries to demonstrate that personification, which is the most common figurative process to show moral values in the Middle Ages, gives virtues a favourable materiality to the link they have with architecture. …”
