in a Medieval Art gallery-what types of objects are displayed?What should i expect?What are the common objects

Answer 1

Manuscripts and tapestries

Answer 2

Are you asking about a gallery displaying medieval art, or about an art gallery in medieval times?
For the former, you could display almost anything from altar cloths to extant clothing or shoes to weapons. You could have a working display, to show how the wool from the sheep or the flax from the fields is turned into fabric, or you could have a workshop on how to make period paints.
If it is the latter, you are unlikely to find such a thing. Paintings would belong to private collections or a church, and most other things would be useful objects of some kind: pottery, clothing, jewellery, prayer books...

Answer 3

"Medieval Arts" are controlled by the Church, Royalty, Titled Nobles and the Guilds... particularly in regard to subject material.

My understanding is that the artist would apprentice to a master... for example: a painter's apprentice might be given the task of grinding pigment to make paint... or some other menial task. Eventually the painter's apprentice would be given the opportunity to "fill in" areas of the work on lesser works.

I believe the two mediums the painters used most were egg tempera & fresco... and both required specific steps to ensure that the work would survive.

The Church, Royalty & Titled Nobles... would employ the members of the Guilds to create functional objects and Art.

I don't believe that the modern concept of the Art Gallery as purveyeur comes into existence until the [late] renaissance..

Answer 4

Medieval art is a blurry subject. They did not 'believe' in art so most of what we consider art was 'merely' a functional object in those days.

Tapestries and embroidery, religious objects in the form of books, silverware and wood and stone carving. Paintings, portraits and religious ones mainly. In the war department you may find embellished armor and blades.

Answer 5

I collect medieval coins (plantagenet era)1200's top 1300's , and later (1700's)etchings etc of medieval kings.
I imagine a lot of what you will see will be household pottery and metalwear, some small thin coins , perhaps some illuminated scripts, and a lot of later depictions of life at that time in the form of etchings etc.

It depends on the period of medieval art you are looking at. Medieval art can be very interesting. I believe its usually religious in nature. The above website should be helpful.
