Brun, Sophie >> The choir tapestries of Saint-Robert of La Chaise-Dieu; advisor: Prof. Dr. Fabienne Joubert As one of the most spectacular cycle of medieval tapestries preserved, the fourteen woven panels of La Chaise-Dieu (Auvergne) depict episodes of Jesus and Mary's life along with scenes extracted from the Old Testament. Their many blazons have always identified their patron with Jacques de Saint-Nectaire, abbot of the Benedictine institution from 1491 to 1518. Although most of the patterns used by the painters have been identified by Emile Mle as extracted from the Biblia Pauperum, this work will reveal additional unpublished graphic sources. By analyzing how these engravings have been used, it will raise hypothesis reconstructing the circumstances of the command, such as the artistic circle of the painters and the role played by the patron. Then, thanks to the tremendous group of evidences offered by this unique set, a new insight will be given about the distinctive roles played by the master painter, his assistants and the weavers' workshop in this particular historical context.
Buchanan, Iain >> Habsburg Tapestries. This is a book scheduled for completion at the end of 2005 which looks at the tapestry patronage of the Habsburg rulers of the Netherlands: Margaret of Austria, the Emperor Charles V, Philip II of Spain and Mary of Hungary. Some of the research has already appeared in the articles listed in the bibliography. Selective bibliography Back to index
Caen, Barbara >> Tapestries in the 19th Century The dissertation analyses tapestry production in the 19th century. Due to the abundance of
research, we focus on the production in France in comparison with some manufactures abroad.
Although scholars in the 19th century such as Alfred Darcel, Edouard Gerspach, Jules Guiffrey
and Eugène Müntz in France and Alexandre Pinchart and Alfred Wauters in Belgium dealt with this
issue, little attention has been given to the topic during the 20th century. The most important
publications include those by Fernand Calmettes (1912), Pierre Vaisse (1973),
Pascal-François Bertrand (1995) and Chantal Gastinel-Coural (1996). Their contributions to the
knowledge of the 19th century tapestry production are essential for the forthcoming research.

preparing a major study on the reception and understanding of high medieval tapestries
(12th-13th centuries) in the early modern period (ca. 1450-1550). Hanns Hubach: Sigismund
Meisterlins ‘Epistola de tapeciis antiquis’ (1464) und die Funktion von Tapisserien als
historische Beglaubigungsmedien im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert. My starting point is Sigismund
Meisterlin's fairly unknown treatise on tapestries from the Murbach Monestary (I will edit a
translation of the latin text) and I close my discourse with Dürer's woodcut of the
Michelfeld-Tapestry, which to my knowledge is the first pictorial representation of an
extant tapestry for its own sake. Selective bibliography Back to index Humphrey, Nick Joubert, Fabienne >> Recherches sur les peintres du Moyen ge impliqus dans l'laboration des patrons de

in the period 1668-1720. It well known that a dance hanging (commonly called 'Le Branle') made
at Aubusson used Stella's print but I have gathered new information on many other subjects also
taken from Stella's 'Pastorales'. Niekrasz, Carmen Dissertation (Northwestern University, 2007): Selective bibliography Back to index Paredes, Cecilia >> Ph.D. dissertation (March, 2005): Vertumne et Pomone. Une fable et son dcor dans
