摘要

西班牙北部的帕伦西亚地区横跨中世纪王国之间不稳定的边界。在这个不断变化的效忠范围内,一群教堂以一个常见主题的奇怪变体为特色,传统上被认为是萨姆森与狮子搏斗。每个教堂内雕刻的柱头都描绘了一个男人与狮子摔跤的熟悉场景。然而,在这群巴伦西亚人中,更多的袭击者从两侧猛烈围攻野兽。狮子的死亡——它可怕的下巴被撬开,变得毫无用处,爪子被固定住,尾巴被锋利的刀片割断——掩盖了英雄的胜利。1200年左右,这种图像变体在帕伦西亚北部激增,似乎传达了当地社区发布的党派信息。狮子代表莱昂王国,是纹章学最早的例子之一,在视觉文化中,野兽的身体是国王身体的象征。在莱昂和卡斯蒂利亚交战王国之间的边界地带,图像的偏离提供了一种政治评论,谴责莱昂是教会的敌人。

Between Biblical and Political: The Subversion of Samson in Twelfth-Century León-Castile
The region of Palencia in northern Spain straddled an unstable border between medieval kingdoms. Within this territory of shifting allegiances, a group of churches features a curious variant of a common motif, traditionally identified as Samson fighting the lion. Carved capitals inside each church depict the familiar scene of a man wrestling a lion. However, in this Palencian group, additional assailants aggressively besiege the beast from both sides. The demise of the lion—its fearsome jaws wrenched open and rendered useless, claws immobilized, and tail severed by a sharp blade—overshadows the triumph of the hero. The iconographic variant, which proliferated across northern Palencia around the year 1200, seems to communicate a partisan message promulgated in the local community. The lion, representing the kingdom of León, is one of the earliest examples of heraldry, with the beast’s body serving as a proxy for the king’s body in visual culture. In this border zone between the warring kingdoms of León and Castile, the iconographical departure offers a political commentary, denouncing León as an enemy of the Church.

期刊介绍: The Newsletter, published three times a year, includes notices of ICMA elections and other important votes of the membership, notices of ICMA meetings, conference and exhibition announcements, some employment and fellowship listings, and topical news items related to the discovery, conservation, research, teaching, publication, and exhibition of medieval art and architecture. The movement of some material traditionally included in the newsletter to the ICMA website, such as the Census of Dissertations in Medieval Art, has provided the opportunity for new features in the Newsletter, such as reports on issues of broad concern to our membership.
