Mosan School
Mosan School. Tradition of manuscript illumination, metalwork, and enamelwork flourishing from the late 11th to the early 13th century in the valley of the Meuse (or Maas). The river rises in France and empties into the Rhine estuary in the Netherlands, but in the context of medieval art the term Mosan refers to the stretch of river and its tributaries in present-day Belgium, particularly the area around Liège and the Benedictine monastery of Stavelot. The most important artists of the school are
Godefroid de Claire,
Nicolas of Verdun, and
Rainer of Huy. The Mosan style is part of
Romanesque art, but is distinctive because of its more naturalistic, if idealized, attitude towards the human figure. In Rainer of Huy's font at Liège, for example, the figures are three-dimensional and well proportioned and their draperies are notably
antique-like. Mosan art is also noteworthy for its sheer sumptuousness, and Mosan metalworkers in particular were famed throughout Europe; Abbot
Suger employed a number at Saint-Denis.
