Abstract

One of the key sacred objects at the Austrian pilgrimage shrine of Mariazell is the Schatzkammerbild or Treasury Image, a late fourteenth-century painting of the Virgin and child in the style of a metal-encased and adorned Byzantine icon. Originally commissioned by King Louis I of Hungary, it was later donated to Mariazell. This essay traces significant changes in the life of this precious object over approximately four centuries, focusing on how its materiality was meant to stimulate feelings of hope and assurance concerning public security. From votive image given in thanks for a miraculous victory, it was transformed into a powerful heavenly object to be used against the threats of Ottoman and Protestant enemies. Then from the 1670s it began to be appropriated by its Habsburg patrons as an assurance of the security they could provide against individual and collective threat, as King Louis had done in the past.

玛丽亚泽尔的国库形象:希望、保证和安全的物质化
奥地利玛利亚泽尔朝圣圣地的重要圣物之一是宝藏像,这是一幅14世纪晚期的圣母和圣婴的画作,以金属包裹和装饰的拜占庭圣像的风格。它最初是由匈牙利国王路易一世委托建造的,后来被捐赠给了Mariazell。这篇文章追溯了大约四个世纪以来这一珍贵物品生活中的重大变化,重点是它的物质性如何激发人们对公共安全的希望和保证。它原本是为了感谢奇迹般的胜利而供奉的神像,后来变成了强大的神器,用来抵御奥斯曼帝国和新教敌人的威胁。从17世纪70年代开始,它开始被哈布斯堡赞助人挪用作为安全保障,以抵御个人和集体威胁,就像路易国王过去所做的那样。
