Mosan Art

Japanese: モザン美術 - モザンびじゅつ(英語表記)Mosan Art
Mosan Art
This is an art form that developed in the Middle Ages in the middle reaches of the Meuse River, which crosses Belgium. From the early 12th century to the 13th century, enamel cloisonné, gold engraving, ivory reliefs, and illuminated manuscripts were particularly popular. In gold engraving, there are excellent works such as the baptismal font of St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in Liège (1107-18, by Regnier de Huy), the Pentecost Altar (mid-12th century, Cluny Museum of the Middle Ages, Paris), Nicolas de Verdun's altarpiece for the Klosterneuburg Abbey Cathedral (1181), and the reliquary of St. Piatus and St. Nicasius in Tournai Cathedral (1205). Godfrey de Huy, who was active in Cologne, Germany, raised Mosan metalwork to an international standard. These works, based on Carolingian and Byzantine art, are the most dynamic and realistic of all Romanesque works, and are considered to be important sources of the Gothic Classical style of the 13th century.

ベルギーを横断するムーズ川の中流域地方において中世に発展した美術。12世紀初頭から 13世紀にかけて,特に七宝(エマイユ)と金彫,象牙浮彫,写本彩飾などが盛んに行なわれた。金彫ではリエージュのサン・バルテルミ聖堂の洗礼盤(1107~18,レニエ・ド・ユイ作),五旬節の祭壇(12世紀中頃,パリ,クリュニー中世美術館)のほか,ニコラ・ド・ベルダンのクロスターノイブルク修道院聖堂の祭壇画(1181),トゥルネー大聖堂の聖ピアトゥスと聖ニカシウスの聖遺物箱(1205)などの優れた作品がある。またドイツのケルンで活躍したゴドフロア・ド・ユイはモザンの金属工芸を国際的水準に高めた。これらの作品は,カロリング朝美術,ビザンチン美術を土台とし,ロマネスク美術のなかでも,最も古代的躍動感と現実感にあふれる。次代,13世紀のゴシック古典主義様式の重要な源と考えられている。
