Description

Forms of Salvation 'invites you to discover seven sculptures and a painted panel from the Val Duchesse abbey. These works are part of the collection of Abbé Mignot, they were bequeathed to the Royal Donation and deposited in the L Museum. Through this book, the Museum wishes to highlight the conservation / restoration work carried out at the Royal Institute for Artistic Heritage (IRPA) thanks to the Baillet Latour Fund. Beyond its practical utility which guarantees the salvation, the sustainability and the transmission of this heritage to future generations, this intervention made it possible to inform the uses and the history of the sculptures, often altered according to the circumstances of their exhibition. It is therefore also the participation of these works in religious life and more precisely their role in the quest for salvation by the faithful Christians that is at the heart of the work. Emmanuelle Mercier (IRPA), Erika Rabelo (IRPA) and Matthieu Somon (UCLouvain) offer here a kind of pragmatics of religious art and document the inscription of works in the religious life of the medieval period: interactions were there a lot. more alive than their current presentation can lead you to believe! Exhibition: Musée L, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium (8.5-16.8.2020)

Formes du salut' invite Ă  la dĂ©couverte de sept sculptures et d'un panneau peint en provenance de l?abbaye de Val Duchesse. Ces Ɠuvres font partie de la collection de l'abbĂ© Mignot, elles ont Ă©tĂ© lĂ©guĂ©es Ă  la Donation royale et mises en dĂ©pĂŽt au MusĂ©e L. À travers ce livre, le MusĂ©e souhaite mettre en valeur le travail de conservation/restauration menĂ© Ă  l'Institut royal du patrimoine artistique ( IRPA ) grĂące au Fonds Baillet Latour. Au-delĂ  de son utilitĂ© pratique qui garantit le salut, la pĂ©rennitĂ© et la transmission de ce patrimoine aux gĂ©nĂ©rations futures, cette intervention a permis de renseigner les usages et l'historique des sculptures, souvent remaniĂ©es au grĂ© des circonstances de leur exposition. C'est donc aussi la participation de ces oeuvres Ă  la vie religieuse et plus prĂ©cisĂ©ment leur rĂŽle dans la quĂȘte du salut par les fidĂšles chrĂ©tiens qui est au coeur de l'ouvrage. Emmanuelle Mercier ( IRPA ), Erika Rabelo ( IRPA ) et Matthieu Somon ( UCLouvain ) proposent ici une sorte de pragmatique de l'art religieux et documentent l'inscription des Ɠuvres dans la vie cultuelle de l'Ă©poque mĂ©diĂ©vale : les interactions y Ă©taient beaucoup plus vivantes que leur prĂ©sentation actuelle ne peut le laisser croire!
