Description
A study of the nine panels that comprise the Isenheim Altarpiece, painted ca. 1512-16 by Matthias Grünewald, now installed in Colmar's Unterlinden Museum. Pp. 61-67 discuss the symbolic depiction in one of the panels of a chamberpot with Hebrew lettering, signifying the filth and decay of the Old (Jewish) Law. States that by Grünewald's time, vilification of Jews had become the predominant function of Hebrew letters in Christian art. Gives other examples, and discusses the derogatory "Judensau" imagery widespread in medieval and early modern Germany.,(From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
