Reviews
"Dans cet ouvrage, Robert Couzin s'interroge sur les relations entre la gauche et la droite et leur capacité à sous-tendre la compositionde l'image médiévale. Le corpus iconographique rassemblé par l'auteur est varié, réunissant différentes techniques et divers supports, autant en Orient qu'en Occident, le tout sur une période d'environ mille ans. [...] R. Couzin propose une étude originale qui éclaire différemment des aspects compositionnels et sémantiques de l'image paléochrétienne et médiévale en s'attachant aux relations entre la gauche et la droite. Au-delà d'une réflexion sur les enjeux de la prééminence du côté droit dans l'art médiéval, l'auteur met en lumière tout un jeu de relations, jusqu'ici peu examiné sous cet angle, entre les figures, les gestes, les objets et les inscriptions dans l'image." Raphaël Demes, in Francia 2022 (1)."In this fascinating, well detailed, and richly illustrated study, Robert Couzin examines the significance of right- or left-handedness in eastern and western Christian visual art from the fourth through the fourteenth century.[...] The closing pages of the book strongly advocate the value of the study and criticize art historians who are inattentive to the significance of right and left. Couzin equates that inattention with failing to notice such other features as use of materials, application of color,or differences in style or technique. Couzin further laments that the matters he discusses have "gonelargely unnoticed" and are "underappreciated" when they are noticed (242). His case is well made, even if it makes a somewhat contentious final statement. Thankfully,with the publication of this erudite and detailed volume, that nolonger can be said.Robin M. Jensen, University of Notre Dame, in The Medieval Review 22.01.2022

Synopsis
Robert Couzin's Right and Left in Early Christian and Medieval Art is the first in-depth study of handedness, position, and direction in the visual culture of Europe and Byzantium from the fourth to the fourteenth century. Heretofore largely unnoticed or ignored, the pre-eminence of the right and lapses or intentional departures from that norm in medieval imagery are relevant to such major themes as iconography, visuality, reception, narrative, form, gender, production, and patronage. The author's investigation of right and left in visual culture is informed by modern experimental research on laterality and contextualized within prevailing theological doctrines and socio-cultural practices. Illustrations in the text are complemented by hundreds more made available on Brill's Arkyves platform here. See inside the book ., Robert Couzin's Right and Left in Early Christian and Medieval Art provides the first in-depth study of handedness, position, and direction in the visual culture of Europe and Byzantium from the fourth to the fourteenth century.
