《失落的镜子》(The Lost Mirror)犹太人和 中世纪西班牙的Conversos,10日在普拉多国家博物馆举行 二零二三年十月至二零二四年一月十四日。
Published on the occasion of the exhibition The Lost Mirror. Jews and Conversos in Medieval Spain, held at the Museo Nacional del Prado from 10 October 2023 to 14 January 2024.
Every image we create is a mirror that reflects a way of seeing. We look at the world and at others in relation to ourselves, through our own mentality and attitude. Using a broad selection of works, this exhibition recreates a medieval mirror that shows how Jews and conversos (converts to Christianity) were portrayed by Christians in Spain from 1285 to 1492. Images played a key role in the complex relationship between all three groups during this period. On the one hand, they were an important vehicle for the transmission of rites and artistic models between Christians and Jews and provided a space for collaboration between artists from both communities. On the other – the grim flipside – they helped spread the growing anti-Judaism embedded in Christian society. In this respect, the visual stigmatisation of the Jews was a faithful reflection of the Christians’ mirror, of their beliefs and anxieties, and accordingly a powerful means of asserting their identity.
