Jeroen Reyniers, ‘The reliquary shrine of Saint Odilia in Borgloon (1292): An iconographical reconstruction’, in: Oud Holland-Journal for Art of the Low Countries, 136, 2/3, 2023, p. 157-179.
In the final pages of the year 2023, Oud Holland was pleased to feature an new issue. The first article of this number offers an in-depth iconographic analysis of a reliquary shrine kept in Borgloon. Combining medieval and early modern sources with technical analysis of the wooden panels, Jeroen Reyniers meticulously reconstructs the original composition of the shrine to offer an insightful new reading of the vivid scenes from the life of Saint Odilia.
