STOVE TILES AND FOLKLORE IN COUNTRY NOBLE HOUSES (CURIA)

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we discuss a group of late-medieval stove tiles called rustic tiles. These tiles do not belong to the mainstream, but often use identical motifs to those used in Middle Europe in the 15th–16th century. Their style could be characterized as more abstract, more strongly stylized, less naturalistic, a result of a different approach. Their characteristic trait is the decorative aspiration: the filling of the field around the main motif, rich border decoration, and also the overwhelmingly geometrical decoration, often similar used in wood carvings.
