Framed by the symbolic death of Christ re-enacted during the Mass, the historical account of the Passion on the retable situated Christ's suffering and triumph over death in the present. The dramatic gestures, contemporary garb, and wealth of anecdotal detail on the altarpiece, invited the viewer's absorption in the narrative. As in the Imitatio Christi , the worshiper imaginatively projected himself into the story like a child before a dollhouse. The five senses, the sculptural medium, the small scale, and the rhetoric of memory foster this immersion.Brill's Studies in Intellectual Historyv. 279.Brill's studies in intellectual history.Brill's studies on art, art history, and intellectual history ;v. 26.Public worshipHistoryAltarpieces, MedievalChurch historyMiddle Ages, 600-1500FaithAltarpieces, MedievalfastChurch historyMiddle AgesfastFaithfastPassion of Jesus ChristfastPublic worshipfastArt.fastHistory.fastPublic worshipHistory.Altarpieces, Medieval.Church historyFaith.Altarpieces, Medieval.Church historyMiddle Ages.Faith.Passion of Jesus Christ.Public worship.247/.1Sadler Donna L966656NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910815278103321Touching the Passion--seeing late medieval altarpieces through the eyes of faith4050620UNINA
