The narratives use Continuous Representation and are more dramatic, as in the Virgin's alarm at the appearance of the angel of the Annunciation and her tender gesture towards the Child in the manger in the Nativity scene. The Crucifixion includes the two thieves omitted from earlier pulpits, though in many details, such as the Y-shaped cross, the representations of...

Zeami related the phases of a nō performer's training to the various stages he passes through as he matures, and Zeami's scheme reveals a deep pedagogical wisdom. The teacher must first win the child's heart, inculcating a love of nō at a tender age; must encourage the adolescent during the crises of frustration and the time of voice change; and must guide the young adult, helping him to...

Painting all over Europe followed the same trends as those characterizing the sculpture of the age: the forms are more slender, there is more emphasis on grace and charm, and above all more interest in, and stress on, the naturalistic in setting and in the treatment of figures, in the rendering of animals, and the management of perspective space within the picture. In 14th-century panel paintings, the gold ground...

A direct consequence of this monopoly was the introduction of stable gold coins that could be used as reliable tender, free from the wild fluctuations of most medieval European coinage. The Florentines introduced the florin in the 1250s; the Venetians introduced the ducat in 1282 . These currencies proceeded to dominate the economies of Europe for the next 250 years.

Inscriptions in several languages accompany the images. Conflation of several narratives into a single panel is another...

The last tower moves first and stops when the angle, corresponding to the joint between this tower and the preceding one, reaches a certain value. Then, the next tower starts moving and the process continues toward the pivot center point. The CPIS driven by electric motors have a discontinuous movement, while the new electric CPIS models have a continuous tower movement. In...

One of the favoured forms in icons was to frame them in gold or silver, often set with gems. Examples of this type are an early 14th-century Hodegetria Virgin, and a double icon of the Annunciation , with the panel with the Archangel Gabriel and that with the seated Virgin all framed in elaborately worked silver...

The production of thin panels for furniture was made possible by sawmills, the earliest plans for which were published around 1250 by, among others, Villard de Honnecourt. The panels that embellish framework constructions can be grouped on the basis of their ornamentation. The largest series comprises panels with Gothic letters; a smaller group of panels with openwork tracery clearly relates to Gothic window tracery. Sometimes heraldic coats of arms or the Burgundian anvil were worked into the panel...

Dry spinning is the principal method in use for continuous filament production, while wet spinning is used for both filament and staple fibre production. Both these spinning technologies produce a continuous filament, but the filament is often processed further before it can become thread. As with natural fibres, twisting may be introduced to give cohesion or to combine two different polymers, although it is...

This can be interpreted as an expression of the growing human self-consciousness and self-confidence apparent in 12th-century thought and literature. There was a healthy respect for the ancient traditions of Constantinople among the relatively new kingdoms of the West, and the borrowing and adaptation of artistic formulae need cause no surprise. Yet not every incidence of green facial shading or panelled drapery denotes...

Panel decoration, with some small animal motifs, became popular in the late 1st century ad (mainly on Dragendorff 37). In the 2nd century ad the frieze was often divided vertically and horizontally into variegated panels (cf. mosaics and plasterwork), each bearing a few figural or floral motifs punched deeply into the mould; other vessels display a continuous figural frieze. While hundreds of motifs were borrowed from the Classical mythological repertory,...
