Medieval and early modern art and architecture.
About
Achim Timmermann is a specialist in the medieval and Renaissance art and architecture of central Europe, the Alpine regions, and Provence. His interests include the visual culture of the eucharist, the nexus between art and pilgrimage, the representation of Christian-Jewish relationships, late medieval allegory, and the architectural and pictorial stage-management of civic rituals (including the punishment of criminals). He is author of Real Presence: Sacrament Houses and the Body of Christ, c. 1270-1600 (2009) and Memory and Redemption: Public Monuments and the Making of Late Medieval Landscape (2017). He is currently working on a book that investigates the impact of the Stations of the Cross (Kreuzwegstationen) on the urban landscapes of late medieval and early modern Germany and the Netherlands.
