Abstract

The original printed edition of Kirschbaum’s classic lexicon on Christian iconography (LCI) contained circa 2,500 black & white illustrations. For the digital version of the lexicon a little over half of these could be replaced by better quality digital images. However, the text of the lexicon mentions thousands of sarcophagi, mosaics, frescoes, manuscript illuminations, panel paintings, stained glass panels, sculptures, engravings and woodcuts, etcetera. Many of those have become available online.

Combining the expert information of the scholars that contributed to the lexicon with the reproductions of the monuments they mentioned, is a major ambition of the editors of the digital LCI. Enriching the information with the multilingual concepts of the Iconclass system is another one.

Demonstrating how the content of the LCI is merged with new digital reproductions and Iconclass concepts is the topic of this contribution.

Hans Brandhorst [editor of Iconclass and Arkyves]

Hans Brandhorst (Leiden, 1956) studied Art History and History at Leiden University, where he graduated in 1982. Since the 1980’s his research interest has been in the theory and practice of computer-assisted subject access to images. He has been applying the Iconclass system to a variety of sources and for many years he has been acting as its editor.

With his colleague and technical partner Etienne Posthumus he runs the website of the Iconclass system, the Arkyves database that brings together collections indexed with Iconclass, and the first digital edition of Kirschbaum’s Lexikon der christlichen Ikonographie.

O AzLab#68 não é sobre azulejos! Num crossover com a última aula do I Curso de Estudos de Azulejo – História da Azulejaria Portuguesa, convidámos o editor do Iconclass e do Arkyves, Hans Brandhorst, para apresentar o mais recente trabalho em que está envolvido: a edição digital da monumental obra Lexikon der christlichen Ikonographie – Lexicon of Christian Iconography (LCI), de Kirschbaum.

Nesta sessão, Hans Brandhorst vai mostrar de que modo os conteúdos do LCI foram relacionados com as reproduções digitais das obras disponíveis online (no original, em papel, estas reproduções eram a p&b) e com os conceitos do Iconclass. 

Mas como o azulejo é omnipresente e o AzLab é o espaço privilegiado de debate sobre esta matéria, aproveitámos para pedir a Hans Brandhorst que nos mostrasse a versão beta do novo Iconclass, já com a tradução portuguesa, realizada por uma equipa da Rede de Investigação em Azulejo e do Museu Nacional do Azulejo, e que é usada no Az Infinitum – Sistema de Referência e Indexação de Azulejo. 

É um fim de temporada cheio de novidades! E vamos anunciar a nova série que começa em Outubro. Alerta spoiler: não vai querer perder uma única sessão!

📩 Inscrições através do Google forms ou por e-mail (redeazulejo@letras.ulisboa.pt).
Uma vez agendada a sessão, cada participante receberá o link e uma password.

Convidado:
Hans Brandhorst [editor of Iconclass and Arkyves]

📌 NOTA: a sessão será gravada e parcialmente disponibilizada no canal YouTube da Rede de Investigação em Azulejo.

AzLab#68 is not about azulejos! In a crossover with the last session of the 1st Course on Azulejo Studies – History of Portuguese Tile Decorations , we invited the editor of Iconclass and Arkyves, Hans Brandhorst, to present his most recent project: the digital edition of the monumental work Lexikon der christlichen Ikonographie – Lexicon of Christian Iconography (LCI), by Kirschbaum.

In this session, Hans Brandhorst will show how the LCI’s contents relate to the digital reproductions of the works available online (originally, on paper, these reproductions were in black and white) and with the concepts used on Iconclass.

But since the azulejo is omnipresent and the AzLab is devoted to debating this subject, we asked Hans Brandhorst to show us the beta version of the new Iconclass, complete with a Portuguese translation carried out by a team from the Azulejo Research Network and the National Azulejo Museum, and used in the Az Infinitum – Azulejo Indexation and Referencing System.

It’s the end of a season full of novelties! And we will also announce the new AzLab series, starting in October. Spoiler alert: you will not want to miss a single session!

📩 Registration via Google forms or by e-mail (redeazulejo@letras.ulisboa.pt).
Once the session is scheduled, each participant will receive the link and a password.

Abstract

This talk will look at the wide range of religious scenes shown on Dutch and Portuguese tiles and examine how biblical stories and events in the life of saints have been depicted by Dutch and Portuguese tile painters over the centuries. There will also be an exposition of how tiles with religious scenes were used for devotional practices by Portuguese Catholics and Dutch Protestants in private and public locations.
