SPECTRUM-Visual Translations of Jerusalem

About the Project

 

In October 2012 the Department of History of Art at the University of York joined the research project SPECTRUM-Visual Transalations of Jerusalem, which is funded until April 2016 by the European Research Council and based at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The project documents and examines visual translations of Jerusalem across Europe, including such famous examples as the Temple Church in London or the Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy, but also a multitude of lesser-known sites which have hitherto been studied only at a regional level. The research group at York focuses on Jerusalem translations in Great Britain and the Low Countries, as well as on Western medieval maps of Jerusalem.
