Grounded in archival sources, this interdisciplinary study explores
the profound historical significance of the mausoleum of the Valois
Dukes of Burgundy - the Chartreuse de Champmol. Although the
monument is well known as the site of pivotal works of art by Claus
Sluter, Melchior Broederlam, Jean de Beaumetz and others, until now
art historians have not considered how these works functioned at
the center of a complex social matrix. Sherry Lindquist here
considers the sacred subjects of the various sculptures and
paintings not merely as devotional tools or theological statements,
but as profoundly influential social instruments that negotiated
complex interactions of power. Lindquist's sophisticated discussion
coordinates analysis of primary sources with the most up-to-date
scholarship in the field of art history, not only with respect to
late medieval Burgundian art, but also to more theoretical
questions pertaining to reception.
