Liturgical Arts Journal
by

In the realm of altar frontals, there are a few different styles, but within a Catholic context typically if one sees frontals at all, one will either see a Roman style of frontal (typically stretched onto a frame and which employs gold galloon) or, less commonly, one will see the medieval style. (There is also the "Laudian" style, which effectively amounts to a large table-cloth like apparatus ..read more

At the museum in Ars, located in the former rectory of St. John Vianney, is located a room with a sample of his vestments. In addition, his cassock and altar missal can be seen here.

Also, there is a mozzetta he wore as a canon.&nbsp ..read more

Recently I came across a rather interesting manuscript that shows various images of medieval/renaissance liturgical life, treasure and dress. In addition to these primary benefits, there is also something particularly evocative about the style of the drawings (at least in my estimation). The manuscript in question is fortunately fully digitized online (one of the definite benefits of the ..read more

Lesser Seen Vestment Works of the English Gothic Revivalist, Sir Ninian Comper
Liturgical Arts Journal
by
6d ago
Certain works of liturgical art are frequently seen, published repetitively, over and over, and the works of Sir Ninian Comper are no different in this regard.

The 'gremiale' is one of those rarely seen liturgical textiles -- rarely seen because it's use in modern times has primarily (but not exclusively) been limited to the context of solemn pontifical occasions such as the solemn pontifical Mass.  This was primarily within the context of the usus antiquior and some other Latin rites. Within the context of the modern rite of Paul VI, the gremiale ..read more

Chasubles from the later 1400's and 1500's are always quite of interest for reason of their ornate textiles and embroideries. Today we're going to quickly look at three chasubles coming from this period, each of which have a scene of the crucifixion in a raised embroidery technique called broderie en relief set onto a red/gold textile -- interesting for reason not only of their similarities ..read more
