Description

The Legendary History of the Cross - A Series of Sixty-four Woodcuts from a Dutch Book Published by Veldener, A.D. 1483

THE origin of the medival romance of the Cross is hard to discover. It was very popular. It occurs in a good number of authors, and is depicted in a good many churches in stained glass. I may perhaps be allowed here to repeat what I have said in my article on the Legend of the Cross, in Myths of the Middle Ages: In the churches of the city of Troyes alone it appears in the windows of four: S. Martin-s-Vignes, S. Pantalon, S. Madeleine, and S. Nizier. It is frescoed along the walls of the choir of S. Croce at Florence, by the hand of Agnolo Gaddi. Pietro della Francesca also dedicated his pencil to the history of the Cross in a series of frescoes in the chapel of the Bacci, in the church of S. Francesco at Arezzo. It occurs as a predella painting among the specimens[ii] of early art at the Accademia delle Belle Arti at Venice, and is the subject of a picture by Beham, in the Munich Gallery. The Legend is told in full in the Vita Christi, printed at Troyes in 1517; in the Legenda Aurea of Jacques de Voragine; in a French MS. of the thirteenth century, in the British Museum. Gervase of Tilbury relates a portion of it in his Otia Imperalia, quoting Peter Comestor; it appears in the Speculum Historiale of Gottfried of Viterbo, in the Chronicon Engelhusii, and elsewhere. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
