Monumental Stone Capital Decorated with Coat of Arms, France, 15th Century
Located in Bruxelles, BE
Monumental stone capital carved in high relief with foliage and a central coat of arms.
France, 15th century
34 x 49 x 47 cm
Provenance : Georges Demotte collection, then André Macé, see the photo taken by Demotte in his workshop around 1930.
The foliage that surrounds the central ecu with the details of the stems, ribs and lobes shows a naturalistic attention characteristic of 15th century ornamental carving.
This large capital with vegetable decoration was made during the 15th century in France, probably for a castle as it suggests the presence of the central shield, originally painted and gilded.
The work reveals the exceptional virtuosity of Gothic sculptors who tried giving the illusion of the flexibility of stems and leaves. The kale, which here surrounds the central shield, is a plant characteristic of the exuberance of the flora of the Flamboyant Gothic.
This beautiful capital comes from the collection of Georges Joseph Demotte (1877-1923) famous art dealer of Belgian origin specialized in Medieval...

The poetry of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)
Beatrice Portinari, simply known as Beatrice or Beatrix, commonly refers to the muse of Dante Alighieri, whom he glorifies and loves. But she is also a woman whom, if one follows the New Life, Dante loved from his childhood, and to whom he dedicated a place in all his works.
More sensitive than all is the resolute amplification which, after the pathetic force and expressionist intensity of Hell, intensifies with the more elegiac and penetrating emotion of Purgatory and leads to the miraculous triumph of the imaginary in Paradise. Of the three «hymns», it is Hell which is the most known, the most popular one can say: the taste of the picturesque, spread by the romantic criticism, is much to it. Dante, however, had the conviction, repeatedly affirmed in his poem, that by rising from one kingdom to another, he raised his poetry each time by a level which made it worthy of an ever more «high» matter. At a distance of six and a half centuries, there is certainly no obligation to share this view, however assured it may be for the poet. Anyone, however, who wants to enter the world of the Comedy must refuse the scale, eliminatory in its consequences of fact, which puts such a section above the other or brings the Comedy to a rosary of episodes more or less «beautiful»
