The visual art of preaching in the Sistine Chapel in the fifteenth century

这个项目旨在采取一种新的方法来理解梵蒂冈西斯廷教堂的壁画历史，这是一个复杂的艺术项目，学者们从未对此做出令人满意的解释。该项目强调口头和视觉媒体在这一时期的相互作用，试图展示传教士和艺术家如何分享实践和资源，以构建变革性的信息。该项目希望利用一种融合了听觉、视觉和表演文化的创新方法，为这个非凡的(联合国教科文组织)世界遗产提供新的见解。它将扩大澳大利亚在宗教和文化变革史上的知识基础。

This project aims to take a new approach to understanding the history of the wall frescoes of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, a complex artistic program which has never been satisfactorily explained by scholars. Emphasising the interplay of oral and visual media in the period, the project seeks to demonstrate how preachers and artists shared practices and resources to construct transformative messages. The project expects to provide new insights into this remarkable (UNESCO) world heritage site, using an innovative methodology at the intersection of aural, visual, and performative cultures. It will expand Australia’s knowledge base in the history of religious and cultural change.
