Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Image cycles consist of a combination of certain scenes. These images can be described and interpreted individually, but also jointly. If we consider individual scenes as part of the pictorial system, i.e. in connection with the other scenes of the cycle, possibilities of interpretation arise that extend the meaning beyond the individual scenes. For the people of the Middle Ages, these combinations represented important contexts that were well understood and appreciated. In this case study, we will analyze different readings of well-known medieval image cycles and interpret them.
