La polysémie de l’image de la chasse au cerf dans l’Irlande et l’Écosse du haut Moyen Âge

| description | Stag hunting scenes appear on early medieval Irish high crosses, on a peculiar metalwork object – the Stowe Missal book shrine – and are one of the most common themes on Pictish stones. As the crosses and stones are made to show the Cross and the reliquary is considered as a sacred object, the religious meaning of their iconography cannot be neglected. But those images also depend on the audience and the social, political and cultural context. It is then important to consider patronage and that both ecclesiastic and political power are involved in the commission of such monuments and objects. Hunt has indeed an important social symbolic associated with power and kingship. Considering this last point, Irish medieval narratives are sources of great interest and kings may have identified themselves with the heroes depicted as great warriors and hunters. Such images thus bear several meanings that can conciliate the interests of both religious and secular authorities. |
