S. MARTIN’S DAY IN EARLY MODERN NETHERLANDS (1480–1580S): TOPOI, NARRATIVES, VISUALITY
Keywords:
S. Martin, popular culture, Reformation, Humanism, visualityAbstract
This paper analyzes the transformation of worship and the image of St. Martin, which was reflected in narrative, visuality and popular culture of early modern Netherlands. The main attention is paid to three topoi in texts and images associated with this feast in popular tradition: the charity of St. Martin, the wine on the St. Martin’s day, blinds hunting for a wild boar as a traditional attribute of “de Martinmass”. A new interpretation of topoi of the image and the cult of St. Martin was the result of the spread of humanist and Reformation ideas in the Netherlands, which led to the integration and reinterpretation, often in a negative way, popular traditions in the new socio-cultural context.
