Abstract
It was oak that was preferred abroad, sometimes limewood, for such carvings. In the Nordic countries birch and other of our common wood species were used for this, yet, in the old account books one can also find remarks on the imports of wood during the 15th and 16th centuries, possibly for the material of the artworks, for the most part possibly mainly for the chairs and chests in the castles as well as bishops’ seats and choir screens, e.g. for the needs of the churches.1
期刊介绍:
THE BALTIC JOURNAL OF ART HISTORY is an official publication of the Department of Art History of the Institute of History and Archaeology of the University of Tartu. It is published by the University of Tartu Press in cooperation with the Department of Art History. The concept of the journal is to ask contributions from different authors whose ideas and research findings in terms of their content and high academic quality invite them to be published. We are mainly looking forward to lengthy articles of monographic character as well as shorter pieces where the issues raised or the new facts presented cover topics that have not yet been shed light on or open up new art geographies.
