贝宁牌匾：一座16世纪的帝国纪念碑

系列：艺术史上的劳特利奇研究
来自贝宁王国的16世纪铜牌是非洲艺术中最受认可的杰作之一，但人们对其在尼日利亚贝宁城宫殿中的委托和装置的许多细节知之甚少。贝宁牌匾是一座16世纪的帝国纪念碑，它详细分析了近850块青铜牌匾，这些牌匾是贝宁王国在其最强大的政治权力和地理影响之时安装在其宫廷中的。通过研究欧洲的记录、贝宁的口述历史和现存牌匾的实物证据，冈希是第一个提出该系列的安装模式的人。
The Benin Plaques: A 16th Century Imperial Monument
Series: Routledge Research in Art History
The 16th century bronze plaques from the kingdom of Benin are among the most recognized masterpieces of African art, and yet many details of their commission and installation in the palace in Benin City, Nigeria, are little understood. The Benin Plaques, A 16th Century Imperial Monument is a detailed analysis of a corpus of nearly 850 bronze plaques that were installed in the court of the Benin kingdom at the moment of its greatest political power and geographic reach. By examining European accounts, Benin oral histories, and the physical evidence of the extant plaques, Gunsch is the first to propose an installation pattern for the series.
