Description
Summary:This article proposes the reading of representations of the religious visual culture with devotional ends from Aby Warburg´s concepts Nachleben and Pathosformeln. The research object is a Swiss drawing with the motifs of the three paths and the title "Narrow is the gate, and narrow, the road that leads to life, and few there are that find it." After a reflection on the translation and subjacent understanding of Nachleben applies whether the concept to both visual narratives (Crucifix, Serpent's Rise, New Jerusalem, Vanity City, Paradise, Hellmouth, two (three) paths) as textual and metaphorical (quotations from biblical texts and hymns) of the work. It may be concluded that one can speak of a Nachleben in the double sense - both of biblical (or antiquity) metaphors transformed into images and of Lutheran emphases from the contribution of the older Lucas Cranach - and that the concept of Pathosformeln articulates well the performative and at the same time educational and appealing aspect of the sacred devotional art genre. Keywords: Religious languages; religious visual culture; Aby Warburg; Nachleben; Pathosformeln.
