Williams College Museum Of Art: “Cracking the Cosmic Code — Numerology in Medieval Art”
Williams College Museum of Art. "Cracking the Cosmic Code: Numerology in Medieval Art" explores medieval relationships among numbers, events, and works of art. The medieval and Renaissance art on display in this exhibition from the 5th to 17th centuries — including a 15th-century birth platter by Lippo d'Andrea from Florence; a 14th-century panel fragment with courtly scenes from Palace Curiel de los Ajos, Valladolid, Spain; and a 12th-century wall capital from the Monastery at Moutiers-Saint-Jean — reveal numerical patterns as they relate to architecture, literature, gender, and timekeeping. These artworks tease out numerical patterns and their multiple possible meanings, in relation to gender, literature, and the celestial sphere.
