The Mills-Kronborg Collection of Danish Church Wall Paintings

The Index of Christian Art is pleased to offer this resource for scholarly benefit. It represents the life work of James Mills (+2004) who devoted his career to the documentation and iconographic analysis of medieval Danish wall paintings. His archive was given to the Index of Christian Art in 2004 and is copyrighted to that institution.

The images and text may be used for scholarly purposes only and both hardcopy slides and high resolution digital images may be ordered from the Index. A small charge to cover the costs for these will be charged and enquiries should be addressed to Robin Dunham (rdunham@princeton.edu).

Few changes have been made to this resource from that originally compiled by James Mills. It presents an alphabetic list of all the medieval sites where frescoes are found starting with Alsted and ending with Vraa. A concise entry is given for each work along with a link to an image.

There is also an iconographic index starting with Representations of God, Angels and Devils and ending with Miscellaneous Secular works but no images are attached to these entries. Once the subject matter has been found the user will then need to go to the alphabetic index for that particular geographic entry to see the actual image.

The various volumes in this index are divided into periods starting with Romanesque and ending with Renaissance.

As it presently stands there is a limited search option to this database. To find the term you are looking for (for example Jerusalem or Vraa) press 'Control-F' and enter the search term.
