The Foliate Frieze as Architectonic Framing Device
View through CrossRef
This chapter addresses frame-field relations by presenting the foliate friezes articulating the churches of France as integral parts of the consecrated architectural envelope with ties to the unconsecrated natural environment. It provides an overview of the large corpus of French foliate friezes, focusing on three main types: interior friezes, exterior friezes, and portal friezes. The prevalence of such friezes from the twelfth century through the late Middle Ages attests to their versatility. The chapter concludes with an account of the origins of the foliate frieze phenomenon in the sacred architecture of France, identifying the influential church at Cluny as key to its inception and spread.
