Dominican Painting in East Anglia: The Thornham Parva Retable and the Musee de Cluny Frontal - Hardcover
(East Anglian) The 14th-century panel painting discovered in 1927 in a stable at Thornham Hall in Suffolk was one of the most remarkable finds this century in the field of medieval English painting. This detailed study of the retable, now in the church at Thornham Parva, and an unprovenanced panel painting in the Museé de Cluny, proves that they are the table and frontal of the same altar —the only such survival anywhere in north-west Europe. Further analysis of the iconography and style of the panels shows that they are East Anglian works datable to the second quarter of the 14th century.

Book Description Hardcover. Maroon boards with white lettering; maroon DJ with illustration and white lettering; 128 pp.; richly illustrated. "The discovery in a stable at Thornham Hall in Suffolk in 1927 of a 14th-century panel painting was one of the most remarkable finds this century in the field of medieval English painting. Now in the church of Thornham Parva, the retable, which depicts a Crucifixion flanked by standing saints, has sometimes been compared to an unprovenanced panel painting acquired by the Musee de Cluny in Paris in 1864, bearing four scenes from the life of the Virgin. A detailed study of the two paintings reveals that both paintings reveals that both panels have suffered various alterations and mutilations, notably the loss of an entire scene from the Musee de Cluny panel. A careful reconstruction proves that they are not merely the products of a single workshop, but the retable and frontal of the same altar - the only such survival anywhere in northwest Europe." -- DJ.
