\u201cNoah planted a vineyard, and drinking of the wine, became drunk.\u201d \u2014 Genesis, chapter 9, verse 20\u201321<\/p>\n\n\n
\nSaint John the Baptist, relief votif de Jean Dubos et de Catherine Bernard, 1438, atelier tournaisien, pierre de tournai, Tournai cath\u00e9drale de Notre-Dame<\/sub><\/sup> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
This finely carved relief in blue Tournai limestone likely formed part of a fixed liturgical furnishing, probably a jub\u00e9 or choir screen. Within a trefoil-arched niche, the patriarch Noah is depicted as an elderly man with a long, wavy beard, his head covered by a broad-brimmed, fur-lined headdress typical of late medieval depictions of biblical figures. The face, of remarkable quality, with its deeply set eyes, finely incised curls, and gently furrowed brow, conveys an arresting gravity. He holds in one hand a slender rod or pointer, and in the other a parchment scroll that unfurls over the chamfered right edge of the panel. The scroll bears a Gothic script from the Vulgate (Genesis 9:20\u201321)recounting Noah\u2019s planting of the vine and subsequent drunkness. <\/p>\n\n\n
\nD\u00e9tail du Monument Cottrel, Tournai, cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame<\/sup><\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
The relief is distinguished by its subtle modelling and refined surface treatment. The sharply broken drapery folds and the form of the epigraphic characters place the work in the sculptural tradition of the Scheldt basin during the third quarter of the fifteenth century. The use of Tournai stone further supports an attribution to a workshop active in Flanders or northern France, possibly in the orbit of Valenciennes, Cambrai, Douai or Arras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close parallels are found among the surviving fragments from the former cathedral of Th\u00e9rouanne (destroyed in 1553), whose inscribed pavement slabs illustrated episodes from Genesis\u2014among them Noah\u2019s drunkenness along with the Latin text of this same verse 21 (bibensque vinum inebriatus est).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
