George Herbert’s Godly Interiors: Where Everything is “Plain, but Clean, Whole and Sweet”
2025
Overview
According to the French art historian, Daniel Arasse, the secret of a painting often lies hidden in a detail that bears the keys of the true unseen thought of the whole work. 1 will also look at some of the ways in which his advice resonates with the domestic imagery of his poetic work, The Temple, and his art of singling out everyday objects as significant \"details\" of Gods transfiguring presence. In his seminal book, Society and Puritanism in Pre-Revolutionary England, Christopher Hill drew attention to the importance of the household as one of the basic units for the exercise of godly discipline and to the spiritualization of the household, placed under the authority of the godly patriarch.' The work of historians of religion over the past few decades has lead to considerable revision of mistaken ideas about the state of church buildings in the wake of Reformation iconoclasm and the role played by images as well as the senses at large in Protestant spirituality.
