Unsichtbares sichtbar machen
Strategien zur Darstellung des überirdischen Raumes in der italienischen Malerei im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert
The divine heaven is a complicated, albeit ubiquitous pictorial object whose theologically justified 'non-representability' places special demands on visualisation. Although none of the painters knew their subject matter, recurring principles can be discerned with which approaches to solving the problem of depicting the 'invisible' were formulated and the viewer could thus be brought closer to the beyond. Modes of images abstracted from the analysis enable a systematic recording of the celestial images. Here, traditional designs and new conventions are juxtaposed, which need to be evaluated and contextualised in this framework.
