Assaf Pinkus • Patrons and Narratives of the Parler School

The Marian Tympana 1350-1400
The Marian portals in Augsburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Thann and Ulm, products of the Parler workshops, are among the most spectacular and innovative gothic enterprises of the fourteenth century. Teeming with hundreds of sculptured figures set in elaborate narrative, they share a similar program, displaying the Life of the Virgin Mary and the stories of the Creation.Through a close examination of these visual narratives as a late medieval art of communication, and exploration of their visual strategies, the author contextualizes their function within their cultural milieu.
